Jaku Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 http://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/787386 That works out to be 5.5M cap hit. Do you think he's going to fetch a lot more in Calgary? Sounds like he's looking for a big pay day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Arrogant Worms Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Everything I have read has indicated he didn't want to stay with the Bruins and had worn out his welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireGillis Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I hope he signs for 7m at least! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRussianRocket. Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Everything I have read has indicated he didn't want to stay with the Bruins and had worn out his welcome. I've heard this too. Reports say he wants $5.5m per from Calgary so may have been something with Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baer. Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 He'll get 6.5 minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Oilers should offer sheet him for $6.5 mill per year. Would cost 1st 2nd and 3rd. upto $7.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Fig Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I think Hamilton just looked around the situation in Boston and said "I'm outta here". He was going to get paid regardless of where he signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebreh Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I heard one hit wonder Giordano is also asking for high $$ upwards to like 9m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start off bidding high, settle in the middle. Nothing unusual. He should get $7ish mill money. He is a top 5 dman in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 He'll get 6.5 minimum. At the draft, Joe Haggerty said they were asking 6.5-7m+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh for sure. I could see him landing money like Ryan Suter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHL rocks Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Oh for sure. I could see him landing money like Ryan Suter. Suter made $12, $12, $11 million per year for the last 3 years, he'll be getting $9 mill per year for the next 5 years. I don't think he'll be getting Suter money.

Brad Marchand Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 "Hamilton was apparently a loner in the Bruins locker room and didn't really get along with any of his teammates." Been digging around Boston media sources and forums (including HF) and some people feel that, while there may be some truth to this, it's also a product of a smear campaign from the Bruins organization to justify trading Hamilton like they did with Seguin. Make what you will of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaku Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 Suter made $12, $12, $11 million per year for the last 3 years, he'll be getting $9 mill per year for the next 5 years. I don't think he'll be getting Suter money. You are correct sir. That was a poor player to try and compare what he'll get. But i could see him getting that 7.5 - 8 M cap hit. With at least a salary of 9 for a couple or a few of those years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I heard one hit wonder Giordano is also asking for high $$ upwards to like 9m. Well, I'd take "one hit wonder" Giordano with his points and solid two way game over Sbisa and whatever he brings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gstank29 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 From what i have heard from Boston fans, Hamilton was putty and whining about not recieving a big offer from them. Some fans were saying he is looking for Drew Doughty and Alex Pietriangelo money and that he hasn't proven he can be a legitmate number one defence man who can play the big minutes. It will be interesting to see if he is given a minute crunching, top pairing role next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaku Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 Well, I'd take "one hit wonder" Giordano with his points and solid two way game over Sbisa and whatever he brings. With his 4M cap hit would be nice, but a cap hit of upwards of 9M? That's huge for a 32 year old. Even if it was only 9M over 5 years that would mean he would be 37 when it expires... Well beyond the prime in his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
