AV. Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 From a trade value standpoint, it's not bad. But neither team does it because of the contributions made by each player involved in the trade to their respective teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vancanfan Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I don't think you guys know who Hamonic is, 21 year old with a +6 rating on a brutal Islanders team last year. He had 24 points in 73 games. He plays against the opponents top forwards. Although perhaps a small downgrade from Bieksa at the moment, he WILL be a top pairing for a team in the next 3-4 years. As well, the dark horse in this trade could be the 1st round pick. The Islanders will either tank again in the season meaning a top 10 pick for the nucks, or they will make it in the playoffs but not deep, between 15th-20th spot, which can guarantee the Canucks a stud in a deep draft this year. The Canucks still make the playoffs and challenge for a spot while getting younger and building for the future at the same time. The Islanders do this for 2 main reason. 1. Goaltending 2. Experience The Islanders have a solid core right now. Tavares, Okposo, Moulson, Strome, Niederatter, De Haan, Reinhart. The only piece they are missing is an established young goaltender and they get that piece with Schneider. This will instantly increase their chance of making it into the playoffs for years to come. Secondly, the Islanders make this trade to gain experience. Their lineup consists of younger players. Bringing in Bieksa would give them a veteran presence on the ice and in the lockerroom. They already started adding this key component to their hockey club by bringing in Lubomir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
