Treliving Defends His Player; Hamilton Excited For Future

Calgary Flames general manager Brad Treliving and his shiny new signee Dougie Hamilton participated in a conference call with media earlier this afternoon. The duo shared their mutual excitement regarding Hamilton's six-year commitment in Calgary, and also featured Hamilton trying not to comment on the situation in Boston that led to his trade (and Brad Treliving burying media reports that Hamilton was a bad teammate). As you can see, Hamilton seemed to go out of his way to take the proverbial high road.

Selected quotes from the call after the jump!

Treliving, on where Hamilton will fit on Bob Hartley's roster:

I just know we haven't been able to wipe the smile off Bob's face since Friday, so I'm sure he's going to find a spot.
