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

[Lame Lambert]

Garth better hold off until we get something of value. Don't accept any of the garbage. Demand Hall from EDM or Brodie from CGY and if they don't like it tough ****. He signed a contract and has to deal with it.

 

[xECK29x]

I ****ing hate sports, Travis is going to be a huge loss that isn't going to be filled

 

[Le Grec]

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Agreed. I could stomach Hall but I still don't know if EDM would do it.

First and foremost guys, man, this sucks for you. Public trade requests almost always result in lower returns and he's a heck of a player. That said...

Edmonton wouldn't do that.

RNH, Hall, Nurse, and the obvious McSavior wouldn't be available.

However, there's lots to offer aside from that - Eberle, Yakupov, Klefbom, our undoubtedly high first rounder this year, even Draisaitl - which would suck terribly to give up but for Hamonic I'd probably do it.

 

[Lame Lambert]

I'm laughing at this point.

This is so spot on, Snow must be doing whippets up on the Barclays garden

He better start getting Pulock into those meetings!

 

[TROLLCHUK]

Sounds like Garth isn't just going to give him away.

BTW, it's even more ridiculous that Pulock hasn't gotten a shot yet. You really need to know what you have before making these franchise altering moves.

Well it's obvious now. Capuano is grooming Strait as Hamonic's replacement.

Eberle and Matthews MAY be a bit easier to stomach

 

[PWJunior]

This just plain sucks. It's going to be worse with all the outside coming here and offering up crap for him.

If Hammer is traded, it better be for a defenseman to take his place.

 

[On Edge]

Some things are bigger than the game. Hopefully, things are ok with his family but I guess this is not the case. Love Hamonic - a very good d-man and seemingly even a better young man.

Create a bidding war, minimize the damage and move on and wish TH nothing but the best.

That may be the only thing that would make things better.

 

[Tavares2TheRescue]

Yikes. This came out of nowhere...

 

[Lame Lambert]

With this news coming out Pulock and Mayfield better start getting games or I'm going to have a ****ing stroke.

I was just about to post this. How do you not give Pulock and Mayfield a look when you're about to lose Hamonic?

 

[TROLLCHUK]

I laughed

To keep from crying.

 

[Benedict Kovalchuk]

God I hope we don't trade Hamonic to Edmonton. We need help on the back end and they've got nothing to offer.

 

[eoin92]

Wtf!

 

[Brunomics]

I get he wants to be closer to his family but unless he goes directly to Winnipeg everything else is a plane ride away. Doesn't really make any sense.

 

[seabass45]

Well, let's talk about what would be a good match here. Obviously, nobody has bitten, but here's who might be targeted:

Winnipeg (prob where Hammer wants to go): Trouba, MAYBE Myers
Calgary: has to be TJ Brodie and only TJ Brodie, right? Hamilton is probably stuck there
Edmonton: Klefbom, Nurse
Minnesota: I don't think there's really a match here. They're up against the cap and they're humming along. No reason to make a deal.
Detroit: Also up against the cap. Ericsson and Kronwall both have NTCs.
Vancouver: Tanev (Edler has a NTC)

 

[Doshell Propivo]

This just plain sucks. It's going to be worse with all the outside coming here and offering up crap for him.

If Hammer is traded, it better be for a defenseman to take his place.

If it's a one for one swap that is unlikely.

 

[PWJunior]

I was just about to post this. How do you not give Pulock and Mayfield a look when you're about to lose Hamonic?

Agreed, Capuano riding Strait with knowledge that Hamonic requested a trade. This information just makes it even more perplexing at how badly Capuano and the staff are handling the defense.

 

[Zippy316]

As a Devils fan, that sucks for the Islanders. It's unfortunate but theres nothing they can really do about it.

Has there been any speculation why exactly he wants to be moved closer to home?

 

[Jumptheshark]

okay NYI fans get ready to attack an oiler fan here

Eberle and Schultz for Travis Hamonic?

 

[Strummergas]

Man, this sucks. I hope everything turns out well for him and his family, but this still sucks.

This doesn't even merit a response.
