Hamonic outscored both last season.
Also, try and find Myers in this list from last year.
Hint: he's at the bottom. Guy sucks unless he's sheltered. Always has.
From my view it would be:
Trouba>Hamonic>Myers
But honestly it's pretty lateral between the 3 and that's why I think Winnipeg would balk at doing a deal unless it's a more obvious "good deal" for the Jets like Hamonic for Enstrom.
Enstrom isn't chopped liver either by the way... just that his age obviously makes him less appealing that Hamonic. Enstrom is better offensively than Hamonic at 5 on 5 and both are decent defensively but Hamonic does play somewhat tougher minutes and gets a harder Dzone push.
Hamonic obviously has the edge with his age and cheap contract... but in this situation the Isles are likely "beggars and not choosers".
FYI
Klefbom is sick--so if he does not play tomorrow do not go crazy
People need to remember that players arent faceless commodities GM trade like Pokemon cards. They have connections and relationships in the locker room and community we arent aware of. So even if Myers isnt as good as Hamonic, a GM might not make that trade because of the impact Myers has in a locker room, or the impact it has if hes traded. Theres also the angle that a coach may like a certain player and feel they have incredible potential in their system, whereas a new player doestn fit a system as well
Making trades are way more complex then people lead on
Well with the interest Chia has for Hamonic maybe we can see a 3 way trade happening to assist all teams.
Well Arthur Staple said that if Snow wants a dman coming back for Hamonic he'd probably need to be bigger and signed longer unlike Spurgeon
Ference is 6 lbs heavier and signed for a year longer... I think we have a winner.
I just hope the situation is resolved sooner rather than later. I don't want to have that itch in the back of my mind for months.
Clutterbuck helps the bottom 6 definitely. We all know how soft the team is overall. I would be happy to get a guy like Clutterbuck.
A Hamonic trade seems unlikely to me, but I imagine Chiarelli will go all out to find something that makes sense. It would impress me immensely if we ended up with Hamonic
The issue to me is that our trading pieces are either too good are not good enough. The bubble players are Eberle, Draisaitl, Klefbom (too good) and Fayne, Schultz, Yakupov (not good enough). Sekera has a NMC so that's not happening.
As much as it pains me to say, teams like Winnipeg and Calgary have much more appropriate trading pieces. The sweet spot of player value for Hamonic, and they are both teams that would love make some changes to find some more wins.
I don't think Winnipeg is that interested in Hamonic when Trouba in not going to be moved for him and Byfuglien is a UFa. Then Myers is probably really liked by their GM and he's not one to make too many moves. Wasn't the Kane trade his first player for player deal.
There's no 'bidding war' when half the teams realistically can't add him or have too many D already there (Calgary, Winnipeg, Minnesota). It's gonna be salvage a return time and that's when Chiarelli should pounce.
I think the Islanders are going to be waiting for a long time if they think they're going to get an equivalent player to Hamonic. They can want another version of him. But why does another team make that deal? No one is in the business of helping the Islanders out by making a lateral deal.
