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

[rollin109]

The fact he really did not disclose what it is makes me think the odds he gets booed are significantly higher than if he gave a direct answer.

I really hope your wrong...maybe it turns out that this was all for a ridiculous reason but until anyone knows for sure I think of any Islander, Hamonic certainly deserves the benefit of the doubt. He has been the quintessential Islander up to this point on and off the Ice.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: This team page has to be the funniest team page on HF.

True. Though I don't know what's funnier, the jokes, the serious opinions that some have or what's actually going on with the team. It's all hysterical!

I think Brian Strait's play with any other pairing on the ice can be summed up as this.

The serious opinions. The "read-between-the-liners" are the best today. Truly solid gold.

He'll get booed. But luckily for him they're not in Nassau anymore so at least his car can't get keyed.

We may fight about this team

They may cause us to drink too much

But we are still ALL ISLANDERS!!!

Is this after Bailey scores his first goal?

That Literally is Bailey.

You mean luckily he won't be able to hear it because the sound is so awful and the crowd sucks in Brooklyn!

 

[Satan'sIsland81]

i love hamonic, i am going to give him an especially large ovation tomorrow if he is a starter

Youre going to give him an especially large ovation because he wants to be traded? We dont even know what this personal issue is, everybody in the world had personal issues every day. Not everybody gets paid millions to do their job AND can demand they be relocated somewhere else. Not sure why this is worthy of an especially large ovation, sorry.

or because i appreciate what he has done for this franchise and i moreso respect the kind of person he is....god forbid something like what i imagine he is going through happened to me, my work would not be my priority...i respect him for standing up for his beliefs

Can Hamonic play the left side?

Can Hamonic play the left side?

The only time I've seen him play LD is when he's PK'ing with Johnny Boychuk. Otherwise, he's never had an opportunity. He's always been paired with a lefty LHD.

Can't listen now. Can someone summarize the main points?

 

[Gardner McKay]

One thing I've noticed is people talking about this "leverage" issue.

Eric Lindros said he would "never" play for Quebec and made it very clear they would have to trade him. Nevertheless, QC got the haul that led to the team completely turning around the franchise and bringing a cup to Colorado immediately.

MSL was ONLY willing to be traded to the Rangers and Tampa, nevertheless, fleeced the Rangers in the deal.

Travis Hamonic is a young player, at a dreadfully shallow position, on an outstanding contract. I just don't see how we wouldn't get value for a player like that.

You will. As a fan of a rival team, I have nothing but the utmost respect for Hamonic as a player. I would love to have him and McDonagh on a pair together (would never happen though).

Hamonic is young, on a reasonable contract, is a heck of a defenseman and has room to improve. He is one of those players that most GM's wouldn't even believe would be available. It may take a bit longer than some fans want but I see zero reason why Snow can't get maximum value for Hamonic.

Hamonic asked for a trade.

So they BSed for 10 minutes?
