If Holland were to ask Boston about Hamilton, I'd bet money that the asking price would have started with Larkin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kipwinger 8,524 Report post Posted June 26, 2015 We had the 19th overall pick. No matter how much we offered, it would still always be better to take a similar deal from the team with the 18th pick. Or the 17th. Or 16th. Any deal for Hamilton was going to be about picks, and we can't compete in that arena because our picks aren't that low. We've got quality young players, but Boston doesn't want those because they can't afford them. No matter what Ken Holland would have offered, a better deal would have always existed. Even if it was just improving on the value of the picks by one or two spots overall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm betting they get Hanifan or attempting to We could have offered the moon too. I'm not saying that there's nothing we could have traded to get Hamilton. I'm saying there's nothing, within reason, that we could have offered that couldn't have been beaten by any team with more valuable picks. Put together any package you want, and the team that finished two spots below us in the standings could have beaten it if they wanted to. Which means Holland would have had to go higher, and higher, to outbid those guys. At which point Hamilton wouldn't be a steal anymore. He'd be an overpayment.

Maybe they flip two or three of them to Arizona for Hanifin, who (at his best) will likely end up about as good as Dougie Hamilton will be. Lol.
