Confirmed with Link: [VAN/OTT] Canucks acquire 3rd in 2022 (VAN) for D Travis Hamonic

[pitseleh]

Hamonic for a pick with no salary retained is a terrific start to the deadline.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Better than I expected. Guy has had injury issues and has been a headache this year.

Getting anything back is a win!

 

[hellstick]

W

Big time W.

 

[Johnny Canucker]

Disappointed its a draft pick and not a player who we can slot right into the lineup.

Ummmmm why? We are rebuilding. JR wants to pick his own players.

 

[Disappointed EP40]

Nice win. Expected a 5th at most.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Holy shit, no retained salary? LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[canucksfan]

Save cap space and get a pick, solid move.

 

[wonton15]

Why would we give up a pick for a defensman that is NHL caliber , making 3M for only 1 more year? Lol

Because our last GM was Jim Benning and the bar is below the ground.

 

[Yultron]

So youre telling me we actually acquired a draft pick... what is this feeling?

Benning would of acquired a reclamati project and would of said that was the market and was the best offer .

so this is a great feeling

Ummmmm why? We are rebuilding. JR wants to pick his own players.

We absolutely should not be rebuilding or looking for picks. Look at the core we have. Its time to go for it!

 

[JumpierPegasus]

Lmao why does Ottawa do this? They aren't contending and not like Hamonic is a good veteran presence for their young roster, he's been nothing but a headache this season

No salary retained, get it off the books, and he an asset? LFG

 

[Johnny Canucker]

The deal makes 0 sense from Ottawa perspective. They get a head case for 1 more year … while giving up a pick. Are they making a push next year? Lol.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Finally some relief

 

[Breakers]

i was guessing buyout next season honestly

thats how amazing this is as he had clauses

 

[m9]

Great trade. Hamonic is a fine bottom-pairing guy but getting a 3 given the other options they have for 3rd pairing RHD is excellent work.

 

[hellstick]

Allvin made coffee while JR did the trade. Don’t get it twisted.

Nah

 

[Nucker101]

Well done Allvin

 

[Yultron]

Wow Alvin is a mad scientist. What a trade a 3rd ?? That’s unreal .

 

[alternate]

In before the 3rd gets flipped for Dermott.

 

[TruGr1t]

Given the market for defenseman right now, I’m not surprised the return is a 3rd. Hamonic is still a serviceable player on a relatively affordable deal.

Too bad Myers won’t waive we could probably move that right now too.

 

[RebuildinVan]

Why would Ottawa do this? Big win here

 

[Regress2TheMeme]

Dorion said that their goal is to become a playoff team next season. Too bad we couldn't have got them to take Myers instead.

 

[Johnny Canucker]

What’s more is …. Hammer had a M-NMC.

He wanted out. Why?

 

[EpochLink]

Good riddance, wasted of a signing because dumb ass Jim wanted veteran presence.

Guy played what, a handful of games and was ass
