Or trade for Mayfield or Foote. None are likely long term, first pair fits for Hughes but all (Hamonic included) can be his short term partner in the interim until we find a more permanent solution. Or some combination of all of the above. Ideally we'd trade for a Mayfield/Foote and re-sign Hamonic or alternately Hakanpaa... Hughes, Hamonic/Hakanpaa Schmidt, Mayfield/Foote Juolevi, Myers Edler on a cheap, one year, bonus heavy deal as 7th Rathbone in Abby playing big minutes and first injury call up. I wonder how much Mayfield or Foote would cost to acquire from the Islanders and/or Tampa Bay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, forget about it. Larsson and Savard are both UFA’s right? Would you want them on 4-5 year deals? Larsson yes; Savard no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Like he’s slow footed? Like, slow as in Horvat slow? Or worse? And what do you think it’ll take to acquire Mayfield?

He’s already the wrong side of 30, so a five year deal for (likely) big money is a bad idea. Plus, even on TBay he’s still a serious minus player, who puts up no offence. And I don’t like his beard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foote struggles in that skill. He’s really no better than Bowie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes the perfect buy low project. And with Adam Foote as his dad I have no doubt he’s a hard worker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Providing it’s a buy low scenario for sure getting Foote would be fine. What exactly is buying low though? Do we give up our second? Can he develop head up puck skills? Can he learn to process faster to make up for being a bit slower? Is that risk worth our second? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcam Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Hamonic page would sign 2 yrs X 1.9 - 2.3 million range...He still can play... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as a mid to bottom pairing guy, he's a good value at 2m. The problem is this: If we continue with Schmidt and Myers on the right, then we are still missing a go-to shutdown guy to play with Hughes. Hamonic tries, but he's a poor-mans shutdown defender. Myers has some abilities thanks to his size and reach, but he certainly doesn't fit the bill as a real shutdown guy either. And Schmidt absolutely isn't the guy. Benning says he will be active, and it's no surprise our d remains suspect, so I predict he will try to land that right side shutdown guy. As such, there's just no room for Hamonic. Now, if we lose Myers in the ED, I'd be more than happy to see him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately if a last name meant anything more than that, Brent Gretzky would have been #2 in career scoring. Sadly, there are more fedor fedorovs than there are brett hulls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
