Player Discussion Travis Hamonic (D)

[Sun God Nika]

No thanks. Give me Gudas.

Gudas had a chance to fight Tkachuk against the Panthers on Monday. It would have taken off the Sens second best player from the ice for 5 mins+ in a game that meant so much for them and he didn't take it. I don't want that kind of character on the Ottawa Senators.

2 years, 3 mil total. The contract writes itself. Should be an easy one

Now we can always just send Kelly to the shadow realm, but even then, I'd rather go in with 22 roster than 21. Beyond that, what if Pinto/Debrincat want more? Besides this means no goalie improvement.

I missed the first period of the game, how did Hamonic get injured? Did it look bad?

He was hit just as the Sens scored their first goal. They didn't show a good clip of it on the big screen at the game so I couldn't really tell how bad the hit looked. But he didn't look good getting off the ice.

Looked to me like he got hit knee on knee into the boards trying to slip away from the check, but you're right, the angle made it tough to see what happened.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

DJ said after the game the injury did not look good so I think he's done for a while...

 

[TonySoprano11]

I have a $1/month subscription for one year and it is obviously worth that kind of money. They sometimes have specials like this.

Thanks. That seems total worth it. Going to sign up as well.

Sign this man Pierre! Perfect bottom pair D man who can play top 4 in a pinch

I’ll be shocked if Hamonic takes a one year deal.

 

[JD1]

I’ll be shocked if Hamonic takes a one year deal.

I won't be at all.

Multiple instances now of Hamonic putting family first in his decision making. He's made 33M US so far.

He's spoken frequently on how much his family likes the area. Take a one year with a view to working with the team post career

 

[Sun God Nika]

I’ll be shocked if Hamonic takes a one year deal.

Same, he is a right shot who clearly belongs in the league. Someone will cave and give him term.

Yeah I agree. Gudbranson got 4 years (!!!) last year... free agency is nuts.

I hope he does stay, we'd miss him otherwise. But I also think it's tough to extend more than one year with JBD and Kleven waiting in the wings so I get Dorion's stance on this one.

What is Dorion's stance?

 

[coladin]

He gone.

JBD is pencilled in, warts and all. They don't have cap space for guys like him anymore

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDoo]

What is Dorion's stance?

One year deal

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

I'd be happy to have Hamonic back on a 1 year deal.
I'm sure like Watty he ideally wants more term.

it feels weird as a Sens fan to feel like we have so many options on D

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

I would take him at 1 or 2 years. $1 to $1.5 a year. It's low enough that it doesn't hurt the cap. Easy contract to move or put in the minors if it doesn't work out here.

 

[Ouroboros]

The numbers are probably not going to work. He made 3.25M cash this season and he'd have to be willing to take something like a 66% paycut on a 1-year deal for there to be a fit.

It's a downgrade going from Hamonic to Bernard-Docker, but the cap necessitates it.

I’d give him 1.5-2M

Hamonic has made a good chunk of change in his career already and might be very happy to stay in Ottawa on a one year one million dollar deal. He'll be 33 in August and he and his wife might not want to move again. And he genuinely seems to enjoy playing on the Sens.

 

[Micklebot]

He's a third pair guy on our team next year, I like a lot of what he brings but he was a giveaway machine in our end this year,

1.5 is as high as I'd go.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

Would love to bring him back on a 1 year deal.

 

[DJB]

I would give him 2 years in the 2 - 2.5 range for sure

He’s a massive upgrade over JBD
