Sportsnet: Leafs made offer on Travis Hamonic

[Brock Radunske]

You watch. He'll end up costing #17 and Bracco.

 

[Territory]

Gardiner, Kapanen and a 2nd do it?

Gardiner is better than Hamonic.

 

[WTFMAN99]

Price has to be right, the shot suppression numbers are pretty bad.

He's not the healthiest either. If you wanted injury prone, grab Tanev and enjoy the shot suppression at least.

 

[ToneDog]

Toronto makes sense. It's a quick plane ride to Winnipeg, multiple times a day.

Flip him to Winnipeg for Trouba

 

[Brock Radunske]

Give em JVR and trade for Kovalchuk. Bang 2 birds stoned at once

Oh my.
I think I need an adult...

 

[EdAVSfan]

Do it Toronto!

Make the suiters for Duchene plummet!!!

Lol, it's been heavily rumoured that the avs aren't interested in hamonic.

Isles getting rid of him probably doesn't change much. All it means is the isles-avs deal was never gonna happen in the first place.

 

[Sharabhi]

I wouldn't trade Gardiner for Hamonic 1 for 1

If this is true, then I have no interest in Hamonic.

We need someone >> than Gardiner

We have a desperate need, everyone knows it, and RH defensemen under the age of 30 with term are a rare commodity. If Hamonic cost that little the trade would have been done by now IMO.

The Leafs defense is built by committee. We just need to add one competent RHD that is defense-first to allow either rielly or gardiner to wheel. Pittsburgh model.

They are not even close really. Its like saying New York is just a quick plane ride from Miami.

Calgary is closer to Winnipeg of the teams in on Travis.

It's closer in the sense that there are (I'm assuming) direct flights from Toronto to Winnipeg. Cuts travel time down a lot.

Based on the other hammer, it's going to be Carrick + Loov

 

[blankall]

There are probably 10 teams that made an offer. Nothing to report.

At least...The Isles have made it pretty clear they are taking offers on Harmonic. Many teams need a d-man like him. Why wouldn't the majority of the teams in the league kick the tires on Harmonic?

 

[Burke the Legend]

The difference this time is Toronto (most likely) won't end up trading away 2nd overall and 9th overall.

That's what they thought last time too.

 

[inthe6ix]

JVR for Travis

1-for-1?

Guess if it were that easy, it'd be done by now.

Didn't we trade Loov to NJ?

About half I'd guess. How many are serious is another question.

 

[Morgs]

Oops. Replace that with any other scrub prospect then.

Well, Hammer is a lot better player and look what he went for a few hours ago.

Calgary is closer to Winnipeg of the teams in on Travis.

Have you tried flying from both locations to Winnipeg? Many more flights from Toronto to Winnipeg, and those flights are faster but the distance is farther (mostly jets vs mostly dash).

 

[Morgs]

If this happens, the people who don't like/think Harmonic is good will hate him more, and the people who do like him, will go against him.

I can't wait.

 

[The Rochester Rocket]

Didn't we trade Loov to NJ?

Yes, for Sergei Kalinin.

 

[Zybalto]

I hear ya. With both him and the team wanting him out "west" for what seems like forever, Snow really dropped the ball on not unloading him earlier. Coming off a down year and Snow still wants two firsts?

That Colorado deal looked great and how about the Wild? I'm sure Snow could pry away a Dumba in the deal, still get a first, have him going west, and being of the the closest markets to Winnipeg.

I dunno. Seems like this has been poorly handled for a while, especially looking at some of the other moves made.

 

[Territory]

That's what they thought last time too.

This is true, but anyone with eyes can see there is a difference with this team and that team.

 

[Legion34]

Is he actually from Winnipeg? Or at least family lives there.

It is about a 110 min flight from Calgary to Winnipeg and a 150 min flight from toronto. I guess it's easier not having to do connections border crossing a etc. Through the us.

I'm not sure what he would cost but man if it's much more than what the yotes gave up i would be mad......

Would isles trade to a rival though

 

[Advanced stats]

Hamonic is going to be a steal for someone. He wants to go out west as we all know. Hammer won't give that much offensively maybe 20-25 points but defensively he's a horse. To bad as I would much rather move dehaan then Hamonic.

Price has to be right, the shot suppression numbers are pretty bad.

He's not the healthiest either. If you wanted injury prone, grab Tanev and enjoy the shot suppression at least.

So which is it? A total horse defensively? Or just meh?

These 2 posts do not line up.
Do I trust the isles fan who presumably watches him more?

Or the leafs fan who supposedly has the numbers to back it up...

I genuinely don't know what to think.
