For awhile, I thought he might have had the NHL figured out. Guess not.

If no one was even offering a low draft pick, then what else are you going to do?

It might even be that there wasn’t enough of a return offered and they still have hope for him. Then they’d be taking a chance he doesn’t get claimed by a team with room to play him in the NHL so they cold let him develop just a little more and then trade him in the offseason or hope he sticks with the team after training camp.

I mean, he got well and truly fleeced on the Kaberle deal, but what did he do? Try to sign him and force it to work, just to make it look like he was confident? No. He basically just admitted it was a bad move and shot him out of a cannon to Carolina. He lost more than he gained in the moves involving Kaberle, but do you see anyone criticizing him about it? No. Because he’s already moved on to improving the team in other ways. Guy doesn’t commit to anyone who doesn’t earn it, even if he’s cashed in big to get them. Ballsy and damn good at his job.

The difference in effort between Hamill and Caron was striking. Although both young, Caron simply played like he wanted help the team. Hamill caused some brutal turnovers a dumb mistakes.

This also shows why Peter Chiarelli is so great. Everyone can make mistakes when drafting. But some GM’s will hold onto their mistakes to long so they don’t look bad. Chiarelli is more concerned with whats best for the team. If a player doesn’t fit the Bruin way then send him packing no matter when he was drafted.
