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

[Le Grec]

What do we want for hammer?

A comparable winger? Hall? Landeskog ? Idk. My brain is a mess right now.

The Okposo and Hammer for Ladd and Trouba is Gross.

Gross for who?

 

[hunter7isles]

I see where this is going. Isles trade Hamonic for a winger. Capuano reacts by demanding that they clone Strait or he will resign. Isles fans begin to think this all was a twist of fate in the positive direction until Snow complies with Capuano's demands. Mass suicide among Isles fan ensues.

Wow, my feelings at the moment:

I am not happy about this x 1,000,000,000,000,000.

If this has anything to do with the idiots behind the bench then Garth Snow better grow the **** up and get rid of them TOMORROW. Hamonic was a character guy. You do not let a guy like that sour. Waiting to hear the real reason but something tells me we never will.

I am pretty much pissed at the entire organization. Hamonic was a quality human being who left it on the ice. There is no way to spin this positively. It is a black eye on everyone from the top down if they can't change his mind.

Just saw on the main board a 3 way trade (proposed by a Blues fan):

Edmonton: Hamonic

St. Louis: Draisatl

NYI: Shattenkirk

Where do I sign?

Is that a deal stLouis would do?

Thinking about value , shat and hammer we can call close but Maybe not lateral. Shatt and hammer have played the same amount of NHL games. Shattenkirk has about 100 more points. Is hammer D 100 points better than shattenkirk D ? Travis has more Pims, does that mean shatt is not physical or as physical?
So would you trade hammer for draisaitl straight up ? Not that we would accept that for hammer.
But to gauge value for the blues

Seems the blues may get shorted a bit

I remember reading a bunch of times that it has everything to do with the team and the arena.

This a nightmare. Seriously this has been a day from hell For me. This can't be happening. I feel sick.

This totally stinks. Losing Hammer is going to be a huge loss for us. The guy is a warrior and one of the key pieces to our team. Sad day.
Really hope that whatever has caused this problem works out for the best for Hammer as he is a class guy and all around winner.

You know what, you are one classy fan. Not me.

The way I feel about this is Hamonic can go **** himself. **** him, how dare he. All he did was put the Islanders in a very bad spot, now having to trade from a stance of weakness because people now know he wants out. So now we're not gonna get **** for this *****. **** him. Grow up and grow a pair, this is a business, act like a professional athlete not a punk ass *****. **** him, I hope he never sees a playoff game in his life. Kirk Muller II as far as I'm concerned. Flame me if you want, but from now on, Travis Hamonic can got to hell. I hope this gets resolved fast, I don't care if it's for a bag of pucks, get this piece of **** off the team, so I can root against him forever.

Seriously, this came out of nowhere to completely screw up my whole night. Hammer has built up enough respect to not question his motives to be closer to home so I can't be mad at him. It's going to be a net minus no matter what kind of deal Snow gets for him.

I agree, this has to be the Brooklyn effect. Western Canadian hockey players loved Long Island, because it's not like having to deal with the city.

It sounds like he is having serious family troubles.. But you wish ill will on the man because he's a really good player and he's leaving your favorite hockey team. Sounds like someone may need to get their priorities in order.

hmm, i assume someone in his immediate family is gravely/terminally ill......i hope you are never in that spot......step back, think about it and stop acting like a fool

 

[duster19]

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

How did it get out, I wonder? Very unlike Garth. I wonder if it was leaked in an attempt to get something done?

 

[FourRings]

I really hope everything is OK in Hamonic's personal life. That trumps all. Best wishes to him. Hopefully Garth can pull a rabbit out of the hat here.

I have no words for this post. Wow.

 

[Jester9881]

Lots of people showing their true colors here.....

 

[KnishOfTheCrease]

Trouba hasn't been the same since his rookie year, but it's better than Myers

I just really can't imagine trading our best defenseman for someone like Tyler Myers right now.

Whoa whoa whoa! We're not trading Nick Leddy!

Wow !!! Scott.
This is exactly how I felt when we trade for Visnovsky and he would not report. All the
Overseas chatter about family and friends in Verblackistan does the country really matter?
But Scott, this is Hammer.

Personally, I'd add Okposo to any deal and look to make it a blockbuster.

Hamonic & Okposo for Hall & Nurse.

 

[NYI365]

This has me so pissed.

I'd 100% do that. Not a chance in hell EDM does it. Strome instead of Okposo maybe.

[Riseonfire]

It sucks that Hammer wants to leave but how are reporters not under fire from Gm's who are now ****ed that their private negotiations are now compromised?

Friedman put Snow in a position of weakness. Now he has to talk to GM's HAVING to trade Hamonic. It could set this franchise back pretty far. ****.

Why would edmonton do this trade ? In your opinion of course.

It's a sad time in islander country

 

[WangMustGo]

This is absolutely terrible, have a knot in my stomach. Hamonic is hands down my favorite player.

 

[PWJunior]

Edmonton has nothing I want. McDavid and Hall are not available so no use in discussing it.
