Unless the league goes back to the old rules with 5-6 PP's a game, I think you have to take Hamonic over Barrie.
Our PP was already well over 20%. I don't think it gets much better with Barrie. All that probably happens is that some of the points Klefbom/Sekera got will get re-distributed to Barre.
agreed.... barrie makes our already pretty good PP a little better, and helps in some transition offence.... over the last 3 years, he was 1st in EV/TOI/GP, 36the in SH/TOI/GP (only 24 seconds a game, so essentially no time), and 1st in PP/TOI/GP... he has an impressive 140 points in the last 3 years, but 47 of them came on the PP (34% of the total)
but hamonic is a big minute eater who helps all over the ice (over the last 3 years, he was 1st in EV/TOI/GP, 2nd in SH/TOI/GP, and 20th in PP/TOI/GP... his rather low point totals (33, 21, and 14) pretty much all come at EV or SH... of his 68 points in the last 3 years, only 9 of them came on the PP (only 13% of the total)
hamonic is bigger (6'2"/205#, vs 5'10"/190#) and has a much more favorable contract... hamonic's is 3.857m for the next 3 years, while barrie's is 5.5m for the next 3 years
hamonic is the better choice by a mile, in almost every respect you look at .... and the one thing that barrie does better (offense and PP) are the areas where the oilers need the least amount of help... this isn't even close... however, hamonic would likely cost a LOT more to obtain, for all the reasons listed above
