He had a massive hit in the gold medal game at the WJC. He actually had a few in that tournament.
I’m pulling for the kid, sometimes D take longer, and if JBD is starting to figure out a role then we’ll have ourselves a player in a mold that we actually really need.
That’s happened at least 3 times. He goes to a knee, blocks the shot, rebound is there for the opposition to fire it home. Those are more on the other players on the ice than it is on him.

The problem with these charts is they don't focus on what the player did, but what happened when they were on the ice, with the exception of the production portion. What JBD did on the ice was mostly good (his partner Chychrun was a disaster), but he happened to be on the ice a lot when the 5 man group performed poorly. He led the team in hits with 3, two of which were shift changing in a positive manner, killing off a Det an entry with the first and significantly disrupting a second, leading to Det taking a penalty out of frustration. He was second on the team in blocks too. No giveaways either.
It was definitely a good game from him, lots to like, and while there are still some things to clean up, that's to be expected when you're giving a callup top 4 mins.

This hit directly resulted in point blank chance for Brady. Too bad he couldn't finish there.
And 10 seconds after this hit, as he was probably still shaken up, Rasmussen took a holding penalty that led to the first goal.

My comparison with Josh Gorges is starting to make more and more sense. JBD is a "survival" D-man at this level, he doesn't have the skating, skill and strength to be more than that but it's ok, you need a bit of everything on a hockey team. He's pretty good at getting in shot lane and disrupting plays. I see no problem if he's your 6th D-man as of now. He might even end up as a #4 or #5 in his peak.
Hamonic has the 4th highest xGA/60 (3.92) among 201 D-men with at least 100 minutes at ES. Worse are : Josh Brown, Matthew Benning, Mike Matheson, Marc-Edouard Vlasic, Dougie Hamilton, Victor Hedman and Ilya Lyubushkin
The 2nd worst on the Sens is Jacob Bernard-Docker at 44th worst with 3.15
What is crazy is that Brannstrom has the 55th best with 2.45 xGA/60 DESPITE being stuck with Hamonic 50% of the time... Poor Branny always stuck with the Josh Browns, Nick Holdens (declined version) and Travis Hamonics.
Not talking about now as I doubt the 2nd pair would work in DJ's systems but it makes me wonder if a new coaching staff would consider :
Sanderson - Zub
Chabot - Brannstrom
Chychrun - JBD
You always have one of the big 3 on the ice : massive advantage. Chychrun would get his additional TOI on special units and various game situations. Chabot would have smarter regulated minutes exploiting his strengths and Brannstrom is quite reliable and consistent so that would help him settle down. Him and Brann are both pretty good a quick puck recoveries and transition, I think it would work well in a different system with better puck support from forwards

The 7 total hits really makes his last game stand out. Hopefully he’s decided he needs to add that to his game.

Very, very lite. He’s giving up about 50 pounds.
I'm a fan of this guy and what value he brings to our team. We need exactly what he is turning into. A steady defensive minded guy, to eat minutes, and keep things simple and reliable. He won't need be paid massively so is cap friendly as well.
We drafted a good one here.

He looks like he's put on some muscle though. He looks bigger than Jake the Snake. What I like is that he seems to be holding onto the puck more. He is more effective when he holds onto the puck.

He's had a pretty good stretch of games. We're not going to be able to send him down when we're healthy. He'll get claimed imo.

How are we going to deal with the cap ceiling issue with both JBD and Hamonic on the roster?

Closer to family meant out west back then so I'm not sure if that specific consideration keeps him in Ottawa, but your earlier point that the family seems to like it here probably seels it, he's not going anywhere and I'm fine with that
At worst he's a good #7.

We're stuck with Hamonic, one of the very last gifts from the guy on the left
Have an extra D-man instead of having an extra forward?
