Boston Bruins reunite with a former defenseman in a trade: He is being shopped

According to multiple rumors, the New Jersey Devils are reportedly shopping former Boston Bruins first-round pick in Dougie Hamilton.

Elliotte Friedman revealed that the New Jersey Devils have been in conversations with multiple teams about one of their top defenseman in Dougie Hamilton.

Friedman stated that the Devils are trying to explore all of their options:

He also went on to state that the Devils have paid all of his signing bonus' on July 1st, and now his contract has changed from a full no-move clause to a partial no-trade.

With that change in his contract, teams have been interested in acquiring the defenseman.

Hamilton was originally drafted by the Boston Bruins in the 2011 NHL Entry Level Draft 9th overall, and he spent the first three years of his career in Boston.

Following that he was traded to the Calgary Flames in 2015 where the Boston Bruins got a first-round pick, and two second-round picks.

Those picks turned out to be Zach Senyshyn, Jakob Forsbacka-Karlsson and Jeremy Lauzon.

Now there is some speculation that the Boston Bruins may be open to a reunion with the former defenseman, as they have been looking to upgrade the right shot on defense.

Hamilton last year ended up recording 40 points in 64 games with the Carolina Hurricanes, but he carries a hefty contract, with a cap hit of $9 million.
