The scary part is I think Hughes and Schmidt is wayyy better than their counterparts. Excited to see what this D will do. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Love it. I loved Tanev and all, but if he plays well I'd have no issue with retaining Hamonic as a replacement. This isn't a knock on Tanev, but I like the physicality Hamonic will bring in addition to his steady defensive play, it really helps round out the D core. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should fit in very well with our group given his devotion to his family and charity work; he's definitely a character guy. He'll be a fan favourite here with everyone who appreciates a solid shutdown guy. Couldn’t agree more with this. His charity work starting with the Islanders bringing children who had lost a parent to games and into the dressing room is inspiring. He is everything that we ask a Canuck to be.

Lol. A Stretcher replacement and even stecher had no problem getting signed sooooo. Pretty low expectation for a this guy think our young guys would be as good or better than him. And isn’t he injured as often as tanev. One year best part of the deal. Wouldn’t be a JB team if we had a dollar of cap space thou so there’s that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kobayashi Maru Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Steal of a deal and who knows maybe it will go well and he’ll re-sign fir a couple more after. Our cap flexibility should be okay going into our bigger core re-signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its gonna be a useful element on the back end. Another big picture thought. The Flames traded a first and 2 second rounders for Hamonic not long ago. First rounder turned out to be Dobson. Hamonic walks and we get him for bargain basement price while Tanev gets signed by Calgary for a premium. JB gets a lot of crap and criticism sometimes..but some of the moves other GMs make look horrible in comparison. Between this and Schmidt for trailer parts, I just don't get how JB gets grief for this period since the bubble ended. Marky for the terms Calgary gave him made no sense for this team, Hamonic and Schmidt are a substantive upgrade over last year's D for this club. Tyler T could be a loss for sure - but, again, in the scheme of things maybe not given the forward depth they had with Hoglander in the wings. Not every move every GM makes is perfect but Benning has been on a nice run and if you compare the D corps to any point in the last 10 years, what a revelation. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Tanev at more than 3 times the AAV is a better idea and the CDC consensus (if there ever was one on ANY player) is accurate about player value? I doubt many GMs in the league would take Tanev over Hamonic straight up but, hey, if CDC say otherwise they must be right. Further, what on earth does timing have to do with this other than signify Calgary prematurely reacted potentially and overestimated the market (I sure think they did with Marky) and perhaps the wiser and better approach was to be patient........nah, couldn't be....CDC said so. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never considered Harmonic a liability; in fact I've said multiple times he was one of the few guys on the Flamers I respected. He brings a very specific skillset that we were lacking. The reason it took so long was because Hamonic had a very short list of teams he was interested in due to off ice concerns. He could have gotten way more on the open market but he made the right decision for his family.

What was Calgary thinking??? Sign Tanev for 4.5 million X 4 yrs?? Crazy Hamonic, 30, 6'2, 210, gritty, solid stay at home, gritty , leadership-- Very very great deal.. Hamonic solid # 3 - D - Man can play big minutes if needed, played over 21 minutes per game last year.. What a great defence we have now. 1A. Hughes 23-25 mins 1B. Schmidt 23- 25 mins 3. Edler 19-21 mins 4.Hamonic 19-21 mins 5. Myers 19 -21 mins 6. Juolevi Benn, Rathbone, Rafferty Best defence in Canadian Division..

VegasCanuck Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I AM SHOCKED! I Never saw this coming.... Pretty much exactly what I expected him to sign for, really good rate. We look pretty solid on defense once Travis gets up to speed from missing a whole year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
