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

[beLIever]

Can someone read between the lines here for me and blame it on Josh Bailey?

Sure. Lover's quarrel, doesn't want to see Bailey on a regular basis anymore. Who among us has not had that kind of break-up?

 

[beLIever]

So either someone pieced it together using other sources, or Hamonic himself.

Probably one of the other teams that's been approached as a possible trade partner.

At the risk of getting a bit OT, I suppose you're right. I know one stats/numbers guy who swears Spacek is the steal of the draft. We'll know more about Armia next fall when he needs waivers. Harkins isn't playing poorly, bad puck luck.

Spacek is very impressive, but prospects don't go from mid round picks to blue chip overnight. He'll need to prove himself over the next few seasons to be regarded that highly.

I watch the WHL most frequently. Harkins isn't that talented offensively. He's going to be a 3rd liner in the NHL, that's his projection. Those guys aren't A-level prospects, and if he continues to struggle offensively, that hampers his stock a bit.

That said, Winnipeg has a very impressive group of prospects overall at every position.

It's a conspiracy for Strait to secure a spot in the top six. He failed with the whole Leddy license twitter theft scam a year ago and is now going after Travis.

Best thing you've posted in months! YES YES YES!!!!!!!

If you read between teh lines, I think this makes sense yeah.

Yet he did not back it up with %Corsi. The baby must be keeping him up.

You know BD's just making stuff up, right?

 

[Le Grec]

tavares has no concerns about hamonic or the #isles now that word is out. "we're going to support him and he's going to play his hardest."

 

[DarkHorse]

Likely a GM asked about acquiring Hamonic leaked it, looking to reduce the cost.

 

[scott99]

Well Hamonic's statement cleared up everything...........not. I guess you can be more vague, but not sure how much more.

 

[TROLLCHUK]

You know BD's just making stuff up, right?

I think of BD as a source as much as Ek and Inc Bob.

No sorry I'm a Jets fan overstaying my welcome!

Probably one of the other teams that's been approached as a possible trade partner.

Wouldn't be the Jets. It's like Fort Knox over here.

Quote:

hamonic called the matter "strictly personal" and understandably wouldn't go any further. Said he'd play the whole season if need be. #isles


This makes Garth's job easier, getting a #2/#3 for a team looking for playoff run--will be chomping at the bit come Jan/Feb. Now if TH opens up his request list to California, we could potentially see a nice haul.

 

[scott99]

Yeah, blah blah blah. A guy who desperately wants off the team is gonna play his hardest. Well at least Cappy will be happy, he loves guys who play hahd.

Inc Bob has a better hit rate than the other two, to be fair.

 

[DarkHorse]

He said he'd play all year if needed. That's all I need to hear. He's not putting pressure on the Isles. This is a long-range thing for him it seems.

 

[BroadwayJay*]

Yeah, blah blah blah. A guy who desperately wants off the team is gonna play his hardest. Well at least Cappy will be happy, he loves guys who play hahd.

How are we connecting this to Josh Bailey and/or Brooklyn though?

I need the READ BETWEEN THE LINERS to clarify this please.

Would Wheeler, Myers and a 1st to send Hamonic back home work for both parties?

Or Trouba, Ehlers and a 2nd?

This guy Bobby Orr?

 

[Konk]

Yeah, blah blah blah. A guy who desperately wants off the team is gonna play his hardest. Well at least Cappy will be happy, he loves guys who play hahd.

When did the situation become desperate?

I think some fans are overreacting here. Surprise.

 

[SI90]

Hammer saying he'd play the whole season if need be I guess is a blessing and a curse. Hammers the type of guy that will go out and play hard no matter what but now I think this thing will drag out. We're going to have to wonder if every game from here on out is his last game as an islander until the end of the season.

I know it's his personal Buisness and his life but I would really love to know what it is.

Gold is one of Brooklyn's real colors.

Also, ever hear of gold chains? Bailey is a prominent user of chains and I have no doubt he has "gold" ones too.

Wake up, people!

hamonic: "the root of all this is a personal family matter of mine that i hold dear to my heart." #isles

 

[SI90]

The fact that they have known Hammer could likely be dealt any day and they have not played Pulock or Mayfield to at least see what they got is really dissapointing.

No way the new owners are going to hold onto this staff after they take complete control

 

[scott99]

This guy Bobby Orr?

At this point I'd take Ehlers OR Myers strait up (see what I did there ) for Hamonic. We aren't getting both AND a 1st round pick.
