Pyrene Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Great young solid all around dman, pulling up a team's best of +6 on a dreadful Islander team. He also has 20+ points and would be very solid on our back-end. What would his value be worth? He's what MG calls an "instant impact young player" I'd have to say Cory Schneider for Hamonic + 1st. ->Hamonic is arguably one of their best players, and Schneider one of ours. Nabokov is getting old, and since Schneider > Hamonic straight up, the 1st would sweeten the deal. Thoughts? **I think the lines would be something like Bieksa / Hamhuis Edler / Hamonic Ballard / Tanev **Salo -> Salo's getting old, maybe as a 7th defencemen he can play great with limited games.

hockeyfan90 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Moulson + Hamonic for Schneider than its good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbro Baggins Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I'd do it. Don't know if NYI would though. What would have more value, their 1st or Nino Niederreiter? After Nino's terrible season, you have to think that NYI may be thinking to deal him. Hamonic & Niederreiter for Schneider? I'd do that too.

Jobin Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Hamonic is Gangst, Would be down for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blömqvist Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I thought I'd bump this thread for further discussion. Hamonic would be a great under-the-radar trade if Gillis goes after him. For those of you who don't know, Hamonic is a solid two-way defenseman. He is very physical and blocks a ton of shots. He is solidly built at 6'2" 203 pounds and logs top-4 minutes. He reminds me of a young Kevin Bieksa. Regarding his defensive play, Hamonic is a +10 in 2 seasons as an Islander, which is very impressive considering the Islanders are a combined -88 in goal differential in those 2 seasons. We should get this kid now. also What would it take to get him out of New York and into Vancouver? Keep in mind, with this season's salary cap of $64.3M and a cap floor of $48.3M, the Islanders would have to take in more than $10M to reach the cap floor. They also need to make the playoffs.

Phamda Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 You'll have to overpay for Hamonic. He's NYI's best defenseman behind Streit and he's got unreal chemistry with MacDonald, think Hamhuis-Bieksa. He's still young and projects to be a top two-way defender who can log big minutes. Islanders don't really have anyone to replace him or Streit who is aging.

Blömqvist Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I don't think Luongo would waive his NTC to go back to the Islanders. That being said, Daniel Winnik seems like a very solid player to go on our bottom 6. Looking at his stats he seems solid defensively. 2:26 SH TOI, 95 hits and 50 blocked shots, but even more impressive is over 2:1 takeaway-giveaway ratio. I think we'd have a formidable bottom 6 with these lines, just play them evenly: Winnik ~ Lapierre ~ Hansen Higgins ~ Pahlsson ~ Moen Malhotra to rotate in and out of the lineup to give them rest.

CHIPS Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I would do Hamonic+rights to Jurcina for Ballard+Malhotra+2nd. Malhotra was meant to mentor Hodgson but Hodgson is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoolander Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Genius under-the-radar pick-up if we got him. Definately looks like he fits the needs of our team. If Gillis could land him and he thrives, which he very well could, people will forget quickly about the Hodgson deal and realize just how good of a GM MG is.

Dion Phaneuf Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I doubt they'd give us their 1st. Maybe Hamonic + 2nd (good prospect still). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
