I think the narrative about museums is bogus. Treliving did say that some kind of off ice issue with Dougie lead to him being moveable.

But that could have been anything.

...and I'm sure teams like Carolina and/or Toronto will have done their homework.
- The Law

He gave an interview after the trade on sports radio in Raleigh and when they were talking to him about making the move he asked the radio hosts if they knew of any good museums in town.

Same with Kessel

but he cant hear what you say with his 2 cups rings in his ears
- senstroll

lol

come on, please point me to somewhere where Kessel was a bad teammate that WASNT some fan saying it..because we all know how many fans made up rumors about Kessel.

Meanwhile all I've heard from actual teammates is that he is hilarious

If a dork lets me watch my favorite team win the cup and watch lots of playoff hockey....sign him up quick, I'll pay for all his visits to his favorite museum.

Go Leafs Go

Exactly.

"Sportsnet’s John Shannon was on SN960 following the trade as well and said issues with Hamilton included “when the entire team would go for lunch at Moxie’s, Hamilton would go to a museum.”"

(frank)ing LOL
- BINGO!

I really hate John Shannon.

You said it twice, he must really rub you the wrong way

We are talking about hockey players here....80% of them are hockey douches Hamilton is not the type of personality that goes well with that and obviously two teams paid the price.

Maybe Carolina will be different...I mean every team is different. Personality wise.

I do know.

If you want to be apart of a team you have to do what is necessary. It is not all about yourself.

You dont know about him specifically.
What he did or did not do on a consistent basis.
You know of one time he skipped a dinner.

Well, we know there was a rumour that he skipped a lunch, anyway.

But so what, he went to museum instead of moxies.

Exactly, one lunch at a sh!tty restaurant to go educate himself.
Bastard!

I know two teams traded him and afterwords "off ice issues" surfaced.

I know that Lebrun said he said Sportsnet’s John Shannon was on SN960 following the trade as well and said issues with Hamilton included “when the entire team would go for lunch at Moxie’s, Hamilton would go to a museum.”"

I emphasis the word Issues here...I really hope I don't have to explain this to you. Lebrun used the Museum thing as a specific example.

I know enough to say what I have been claiming.

I hate john shannon.

Ugh

go read it again. It was a (frank)ing example

Jesus people take things way too literal these days

Kessel always skipped team lunches.

He hit his favourite Hotdog vendor every day instead.

Never caused any problems..

Can't blame the guy. Hot dog vendors in Toronto are a gift from the gods.

Italian sausage with Ketchup, Mustard, Pickle Relish, Corn Relish, Sauerkraut, Pickles, Hot Peppers, Onions, Green Olives and Sriracha

Read the Waddell comments on Nylander.

Interesting, though one thing I will say is that I don't believe a (frank)ing word that comes out of his mouth.

The dude claimed Noah Hanifin was not available in a trade two days before he traded him.

When would Phil Kessel ever skip a lunch?

OMG some of the names of the kids at the gym make me actually laugh. Parents are so (frank)ed these days. Poor kids.

Have you ever seen the WHL draft names list? (frank)ing gold

Sequoia Swan: This is just an awesome name top to bottom. You take two beautiful things from nature, cram them in one name, then cram that name into some hockey. It’s perfect.
Krz Plummer: Vowels are overrated as hell. This is 2017, and we need to speak fast, learn quickly, and forget about those pesky other things. The best thing about “Krz” as a first name is that your brain unintentionally fills in letters you think should be there. Is it Kriz? Krez? Kroz? He could pronounce it any of these ways and still be awesome. Good name.
Anson McMaster: ANSON EFFING MCMASTER! How the heck do you find time to be a teenage hockey superstar AND an ‘80s action star?
Ethan Ironside: There’s no joke here — it’s just the perfect hockey name.
Joel Sexsmith: Some people are blacksmiths, others might be silversmiths. Joel is a darn Sexsmith. It’s rare to find a name that is both so darn alluring and also the perfect alt-title for Game of Thrones.
Aiden Bangs: This is the bone-zone of the name rankings, so get over it. Right after Joel Sexsmith is Aiden Bangs. What does Aiden do? He bangs. A good name tells you a little about the person — and this is perfect.
Payton Mount: You get the theme at this point.
James Bohn: The name’s Bohn, James Bohn.
Robbie Fromm-Delorme: This name is a sham. Robbie isn’t from Delorme at all. He’s from Prince Albert. False advertising.
Wyatt Marlow: This is such a good-ass film noir hockey name. Wyatt Marlow is the private eye everyone on the streets knows. He’s coming for you, unless he destroys himself first.
Kalen Szeto: Obligatory draft Star Wars name.
Daron Cyr: Obligatory draft Star Wars name 2.0.
Ty Yoder: Obligatory draft Star Wars name 3.0.
Chase Yoder: Obligator ... OK, these Yoder bros are definitely going to be a force.
Ozzy Wiesblatt: Winner of “most fun name to say” in the draft.
Kalen Ukrainetz: I’m a big fan of the “add TZ on the end of the country” name. That means my western hockey name would be James Australiatz.
Dylan Scriven: This is absolutely the name of some sort of misshapen troll sidekick of a mad scientist.
Dallon Melin: I know it’s probably pronounced “Me-leen” but nah, not into that. I AM very much into Dallon Melon. There’s cantaloupe, honeydew, and dallonmelon.
Chase Leslie: First there was Run, Lola, Run then there was Kill Bill. Now there’s Chase Leslie.
John Little: So his name is totally “Little, John” during a roll call. We see what you did there, parents.
Seth Jarvis: Best butler name in the draft.
Aiden De La Gorgendiere: Weird things happen when you get older. I used to be able to eat ANYTHING cooked De La Gorgendiere. But since I turned 30, it just gives me the worst friggin’ heartburn.
Talyn Boyko: Really looking forward to Boyko releasing that new edition of the AI-controlled home automaton.

Crap. I hope that was cut and paste.
