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

[YesCubed]

Do that and you're Garth and see nobody want to play here anymore. That instantly labels you as GM you know what of the year.

Didn't stop Brian Burke from acquiring players.

 

[seabass45]

What about Cam fowler or Dougie Hamiliton? any shot at one of those guys?

Fowler: no, because he's in Anaheim.
Hamilton: prob not, because he already pushed his way out of one city.

Personally think Hamonic for Trouba is a great value deal. They're pretty much identical in terms of play. However, I doubt Cheveldayoff wants to part ways with Trouba.

 

[Doshell Propivo]

But no customs and regular direct flights. Travel within Canada is much easier than crossing the border in to another country.

True.

 

[thepuckmonster]

Maybe something can be done with a team that has a glut of LD and needs RD. LD Hamonic for RD Hamonic.

Could something be structured around Hamhuis ++? I don't think we have the assets but I'm just curious.

I'm sorta baffled about this because it would really be great for Winnipeg on several levels. Trouba COULD be as good as Hamonic, but Hammer is an immediate upgrade. They sell a million jerseys and he's almost guaranteed to finish his career there.

Unless I'm misreading things? How good is Trouba right now? I assume his upside is better than Hamonic if they'd be hesitant about that.

 

[Spybot]

Excellent thing to come up before two super tough games, by the way. At least this isn't news for the team itself.

 

[BMOK33]

It's probably a good thing he signed a long term deal because without that we probably are limited to Minnesota or Vancouver in this trade since Edmonton Calgary and Winnipeg never could afford him long term

 

[TROLLCHUK]

Don't want to look to far into this but guessing that it is a serious problem where giving Hammer a game or two off is not going to cut it.

I wasn't implying a game or two, I was talking the year even.

 

[thepuckmonster]

Like I said, I doubt it but thanks for the input?

 

[Gunnersaurus Rex]

Garth Snow - please make a deal for Justin Schultz....Mac T said he is Norris Trophy material, remember....

 

[seafoam]

Like I said, I doubt it but thanks for the input?

You shouldn't have asked.

 

[doulos]

It just seems like Winnipeg is the perfect fit in every way here though. ugh.

It doesn't seem like his teammates knew about this.

 

[thepuckmonster]

You shouldn't have asked.

God forbid on a discussion board someone tries to have a discussion.

 

[Gurglesons]

As a Pens fan I have loved watching Hamonic develop over the last three or four years.

One of my favorite defensemen in the league and this is just a really ****** deal for you guys, I assume he is the heart of your team much like Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang are to ours. I hope the day never comes that we have to trade those kind of guys.

Hopefully this trade pans out for you guys. I can see some teams offering some really good packages especially given Hamonic's contract.

 

[seabass45]

Garth Snow - please make a deal for Justin Schultz....Mac T said he is Norris Trophy material, remember....

If you keep coming with these Schultz offers we're going to dump him on Calgary out of spite.

 

[bigd]

I heard that he read the hockey forum's "so, who is our best defender now" and was upset that he wasn't the unanimous #1 with the Islander fans. It's all your fault!

 

[seafoam]

God forbid on a discussion board someone tries to have a discussion.

You know better than Hamhuis ++

Did you even do your homework? Isles want a player of Hamonic's caliber.

 

[charlie1]

Silver lining scenario-- We trade Hammer for a #2/#3 shutdown LD. Pulock and Mayfield pan out. Our D is stacked. Silver lining, folks.

 

[thepuckmonster]

I get that and I don't doubt that. I think he's a fantastic player and have already said I don't think we have the horses to do it.

Hopefully the Islanders are able to find a one for one swap but I was just curious as to what it would take aside from Tanev from Vancouver's perspective.

 

[Spybot]

It doesn't seem like his teammates knew about this.

He requested the trade sometime in the offseason, I just assume they'd have had a hunch or something. Hamonic wouldn't mention or hint at having serious family issues to his teammates?

 

[Sparksrus3]

Without complicating thing more than it needs to be.
A trade to Winnipeg for Tyler Myers is probably as close to a lateral move we can make.myers just got to winnipeg so it won't be like trading a homegrown talent.
Travis signed until 2020 and Tyler till 2019.
Travis will make almost 5 mill each season after this with a lower cap hit.
Tyler has a decreasing salary with a higher cap hit.
Personally I like travis better than Tyler. If I had to pick one it would be travis
10 out of 10. Cheveldayoff doesn't make trades, well until last year.
Remember the western Canada thing the isles had going for a few draft years .
Chynoweth,cheveldayoff ,Chyzowski , 3 years in a row. Yuk. Dean was good but his career was short.
I think he only played a couple hundred games if not mistaken. Cheveldayoff got hurt and uckzowski
The bust # 2 overall..
Anyway. My guess is Myers. Travis gets to go home. Maybe we get a pick too? Who cares , if we are losing Travis nothing will make that hurt go away. Him and JT IMO are the faces of the franchise.

I could see garth trading him exactly to the team he wants. After all we are all just people and
This is just a game. If this were the Yankees and George was running the show Travis would have a private jet to take him home every night and bring him back for games.

Gonna be real sad if he goes. Imagine we traded Travis prior to the Barclays seaon.
It's hard enough selling tickets
