Confirmed with Link: Travis Hamonic has requested a trade Part I

[airbus220]

Then he should be prepared to retire. Or he can void his contract, return the money, then rejoin the team when he's ready (if it's a short-term concern).

He won't, because maybe it's about family, but it's also about money. He wants to be rich playing a game AND choose where he lives.

Yes, Isles should not be forced into a trade.

 

[Abe Vukota]

is it normal for a professional athlete to request a trade when they are 25 and 2 years into a 7 year contract?

Yes, BECAUSE DON'T YOU HAVE FEELINGS? BLESS HIS LITTLE HEART. HE DOES CHARITY WORK FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE!

 

[BTrotts19]

Dreger just talked about the Hamonic situation in between periods of the NBCSN game....Peg makes the most sense, a tough blow to lose a top pairing D man but says Hammer will probably need to expand the list of destinations.

May be the only time I've ever agreed with you.

At the end of the day why not just stay in NY. They invented airplanes. If he's willing to expand his list, than what's the difference of a couple of more hours by plane going to make?

If he wants to really be closer to home he will only except WPG or MiN. Everyone's place is by plane.

Eventually though it becomes dumb, if you're gonna send him to Detroit or Chicago he may as well just stay here, its more or less robbing Peter to pay Paul. Its like a guy in Italy trying to get closer to his family in Ireland and saying well I cannot get a job in London so I'll just go to Zurich.

 

[xIsle]

I wonder who leaked this to the media. There is no reason to let the media write about this.

Probably, the agent of Hamonic. It's obviously not the Isles.

 

[SI90]

It's gonna be something like Hamonic and Dal Colle for Hall and Klefbom

 

[BMOK33]

It's gonna be something like Hamonic and Dal Colle for Hall and Klefbom

Its gonna be Frans or KO if anyone else in included. I don't see us digging into the prospect pool at all here.

 

[airbus220]

Right. It's all or nothing if I don't think a very wealthy young man should both make millions of dollars and demand to play in a particular place after signing a long-term contract 18 months ago. I'm not sure what my paying him has to do with it, but as a season ticket holder, I'm sure as **** not hurting him.

He signed the deal a year and a half ago. If you have any integrity at all, your word means something. Especially when you've been handed millions of dollars (including a signing bonus) because your employer expects you to keep your word.

There was no signing bonus.

 

[Lame Lambert]

I hope we don't get a D prospect like Nurse or Klefbom because Capu******* will stick him in the minors.

If a family member is chronically ill? Yes, it is.

Integrity is different things to different people. So you would rather him be miserable as an Islander? And likely not play to his full potential since his mind is elsewhere? And what if he becomes a problem in the locker room?

 

[SI90]

Is it just me or have the offers been ridiculous?

Just spit balling but of the teams closest to WPG who do we like?

WPG- Trouba? Anyone else?
MIN- Nino(just kidding)
DET- Nyquist? Mantha?
CHI- have no idea

 

[Jiggs]

Okposo + Hamonic

For...

Trouba + Ladd

Would be nice. It will end up being Burmistrov, Myers and Bufflin for Hammer and Ko.

Snow already has the Nino deal to learn from, he has been patient. Give him s0me time off instead of making another Nino deal.

I will say that Pulock and Mayfield should be ready to step in and soften the blow.

 

[SI90]

Does hammer have a NTC?

 

[Lame Lambert]

Does hammer have a NTC?

Nope. Party on Garth.

 

[BTrotts19]

Its gonna be interesting to find out what is going on here. If someone in his family is eminently terminally ill, take the leave of absence and be with your family, for as long as you need and come back when you are ready. It's not like he is a fresh face kid being away from home for the first time and missing his family. This is just so out of the blue, I am really puzzled as to why this is happening now. I'm definitely not a conspiracy guy but after the shock wore off, something is missing here for me. Even if he missed the whole year, it would make sense for the team to let him take care of his family issue than take a ridiculous discounted offer.

Nothing

do you know for a fact that a family member is chronically ill? and even so, do the other 750 players in the NHL all have a right to request a trade as soon as a family member is severly ill?

 

[SI90]

Nope. Party on Garth.

LoL trade him and let him become someone else's responsibilit basically.

I'm starting to get a sick feeling we end up with a Dumba. I'm would give up on life and divorce my wife and do like Jewels is Pulp Fiction and just Walk the Earth.

I see the suicide rate in Nassau and Suffolk climbing if that happens. Not Brooklyn though because they don't care

I personnaly like Ehlers from Winnipeg.

That's a rumor that is floating around several places.

Is there some punishable law I'm missing that says they can't request a trade? Any player can request a trade, and the GM can say no.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Would Teravainen be of interest to Isles?

Not a defender of course but would add some offensive flair/creativity to Isles lineup

With Panarin/TT/Dano/Hartman and a few other kids the Hawks could probably afford to send a guy like TT packing

If Daley stuff is true that would open up cap room to fit Hamonic

 

[airbus220]

Because we are losing Okposo or Nielsen or both at seasons end

Just off topic. I would rather have Babcock than both of them.
