So has Hamonic requested a trade out west in general or a trade to just western "Canada" ? Ive read both
Denver isn't really much closer to Winnipeg than New York is. Realistically, Jets is the ideal team for him.

How much would it suck for him to go to Minny?
Can't imagine Snow talking to US teams in the West if Hamonic didn't approve. There's hope!

Would the Islanders have any interest in Barrie, considering his next contract?

Take it for what its worth, but Dater did say he thinks Avs would love to get Hamonic, but doesn't think they have the resources to get it done.

I hardly see why they would not, unless they have financial issues that I am unaware of. Certainly Barrie seems like the best replacement defensman they would be offered looking at some of the teams in the rough vicinity of Winnipeg he might be traded to.
What I wonder is that if this is to be with family that's really ill...would you, if you're Garth Snow, just consider letting him take a leave of absence for the season to be with his family and welcome him back next year?
Maybe it's something that will be more long term than just this season, and I don't know if there's any mechanism for something like, and it would be tough on them being short a dman of his caliber but at least he has a really friendly cap hit and the Islanders are sort of middle of the pack with how much cap space they currently have.
I've seen more than a few Islanders fan say they'd rather lose him for a year and have him back then trade him away. It's tough to know if that would even work though between his situation with his family and the Islanders plans as a team/business.

If his family is based in Winnipeg you've got to believe that's exactly where Hamonic wants to be. I could easily see the Jets parting with Jacob Trouba for Hamonic
