[Rumor] A few Teams might look throwing Dougie Hamilton Offer Sheet


Recommended Posts

I’m sure the Boston Bruins would match no matter what, but it’s interesting to hear rumblings of teams contemplating the idea of an offer sheet for restricted free agent Dougie Hamilton.

We haven’t seen a whole lot of offer sheets the past few years, but the idea here is that the Bruins are right up against the cap and are vulnerable to it.

It’s believed that Edmonton Oilers general manager (and former Bruins GM) Peter Chiarelli is in fact tossing around the idea internally. How much fun would that be? But seriously, the Oilers are in need of help on the blue line so it would make sense. Thing is, I doubt they’re the only team thinking of doing it.

Compensation

Wouldnt be worth it from an Edmonton stand point IMO. Dougie is really good, but the Oilers are still going to be a bottom ten team for the next 2 years probably. Those are high end picks theyd be giving up. Add to that the BMness of it and the effect it has on other GMs and its just not worth IMO.

You would think so...but when a team waits for a player to clear waivers before they trade for that same player...the possibilities are endless

You mean the Derek Roy trade? Obviously did that because of the contract limit

Plus, another GM is in charge now

Ridiculous scenario

Edmonton makes a trade into the top 5 and drafts Hanifin or Prorov to go with McDavid. Edmonton then offer sheets Hamilton at $5.75 million AAV 5 year term. Edmonton then signs McQuaid to a 4 million deal. Brings Nurse Draisatl and Musil into the line up

What does Edmontons year look like???
