GDT: GAME 57 | Senators @ Predators | Amnesia Edition | Tue Feb 27 8PM | TSN5, RDS2

[The Devilish Buffoon]

All props to Hamonic and Korpisalo for milking the shit out of Dorion. He basically took off his pants and bent over for them

I was on board with a Hamonic extension. Hard working guy who, worst case, we bury & he retires.

Dorion was good at finding the even-worse worst case, though...

How the heck do they clean up this Dorion mess

Besides a buyout I don’t think you can? Shitty situation but that’s what happens when you have a desperate GM on life support and allow him to make moves

The NMC to Hamonic for 2 years is wild.

I can't imagine anyone would offer him 2 years, let alone a NMC. I don't get Pierre/DJ. You tell Hamonic it's 1 year for $1M or he can walk. What's he going to do? And if he does walk who cares?

Consider Dorion's last desperation moves and they were pretty much all brutal aside from Tarasenko for 1 year.

Chychrun (redundant), Hamonic, Gus/Talbot/Korpisalo, Debrincat trades etc.

It's going to take years to properly clean up his mess.

 

[Sun God Nika]

Tough to give up $2M though... But might be worth it for whatever is left of his ego.

He is owed 1.1 next year with a full NMC. Ball is in Ottawa’s court to have him play it out as a 7 or buy out.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Yea he f***ing sucks

I just don’t understand how 7 eleven has a commercial spot during an ottawa senators regional broadcast with no stores in the area. What a waste of money for them

What I wouldn't give for a legit Japanese or Korean 7 eleven in Ottawa

Only his last desperation moves? You're being generous.

I wouldn’t even buy him out just release

Buyout Korpisalo sickening that it has to be done really

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Looks like his shoulder/clavicle looking at this how he goes into the net and the bar hits the top clavicle area... Obviously could be wrong .. just looked like it to me.

 

[Micklebot]

Hamonic has been brutal the last couple games, I though he was fine as a 7 but I'm questioning that now.

If Dorion hadn't buggered up the cap at least we could call up Guénette or Kleven,

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Maybe he will just retire.

I've been thinking about this.

I see Hamonic as a competitive and intrinsically motivated guy, and I think being flat out not good enough would be tough on him. On the other hand, he consistently prioritizes his family. As much as he's had a lucrative career, an extra million bucks is more than just a drop in the bucket.

Maybe they give him a job in the organization? Pay him the 1 million? Doesn't have to pay escrow?

sweet jesus, that little kid was adorable

Haha, no, he did far worse prior, but it was obvious he was in save my job mode with zero forethought. Just brutal. Can't believe that clown was GM here for so long.

amazing how some konbini culture entered into Toronto (albeit more expensive)

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Hamonic falls but how many plays did Josi beat up the ice. Tarasenko and Pinto must have felt a pretty good breeze as Jodi flew by.

That shit happens. You need your d to not fall on their face. A play like that completely negates a back check anyway lol.

Really nice video. The joy on Jacques face as he read out the lineup made me smile. We're lucky to have had him around for so much of our history... just a very decent man.

I'm all for it. He can't play right now and I think thats gonna be pretty clear to everyone.

If they knew Hamonic was gonna fall they probably would have gotten in Josi's way a little more.

 

[GCK]

Hamonic has to be bought out.

 

[Korpse]

Sure and Josi is next to Mcdonaugh when he the play starts. Josi is the 2nd wave of attack. Plays like that are going to be trouble even if the D stays on their feet because they are outnumbered and against speed. Novak pulls Hamonic to the middle to create that one for an impeded Josi. It’s trouble wether Hamonic falls or not.

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

At this point I don’t know how you can’t say that someone like Guenette or Matinpalo wouldn’t do a better job than Hamonic with a straight face.

 

[Relapsing]

That's still pretty dope though. I'd pay the extra cost to get bagged drinks and cups of ice

 

[Speatleysson]

Norris out for the rest of the game. Damn..

He's done.
