SUNRISE, Fla. - Are you serious, Don Sweeney?
Twenty-two-year-old rising star Dougie Hamilton to the Calgary Flames and fearsome power forward Milan Lucic, an East Vancouver kid, to the Los Angeles Kings for mostly draft picks? Really?
Why not just give Zdeno Chara to the San Jose Sharks and slip Patrice Bergeron to the Edmonton Oilers, too? And how is Brad Marchand still stuck in Boston instead of marauding around the Pacific Division with his friends?
Four years after winning the Stanley Cup in Vancouver, the Boston Bruins and rookie general manager Sweeney were still sticking it to the Canucks on Friday by sending two of their best players to Pacific Division teams that will play the Canucks a total of 10 times next season.
