Haggerty: Hamilton wasn't traded because he was disliked

According to a report from the Boston Herald, Dougie Hamilton wasn't liked in the Boston Bruins locker room.

But Bruins Insider Joe Haggerty explains why that was not a factor in the B's trading the young defenseman.

"By no means was Dougie Hamilton the most popular guy in the Bruins' dressing room," Haggerty told Kevin Walsh on Sunday night's SportsNet Central. "He wasn't a Shawn Thornton, Johnny Boychuk, happy-go-lucky type. That's not the type of personality he was.

"But that's not the reason he got traded away from the Boston Bruins. To think that is foolish. It's all about the money; it's all about the contract."
