Just browsing here for fun as I am terried of the next trade Chiarelli makes with NYI. But this comment is very interesting. What was your take away from the Hamonic to Edmonton threads? I do remember those threads pretty good. I was in those threads saying that Hamonic was largely overrated based on the asking price at the time. Many Oiler fans were saying hes a solid 2nd pairing D but not much more.
In the end, NYI got great value for Hamonic (Isles fans were right), but then he went to Calgary and struggled/ at best played as a solid middle pairing D and did not live up to the return given up (Oilers fans were right). If you wanted to showcase examples of Edmontons fans being wrong, there is other examples, but the Hamonic to Edmonton threads are definitely not one of them, it is one of the examples of Edmonton fans being right. Hell, even the Reinhart threads back in the day, alot of Edmonton fans were saying he wasnt going to be good when people were discussing him going back to Edmonton, and again turned out to be right. The fans were right, but unfortunately its the GM who makes the actual move and fans cant control a brutal GM
