But I think he is going to try as hard as he can to make it better. Why sign Hamonic for $3 million when there are better options out there? Are there? Are they guaranteed to come here.? I mean I'd love to trade for Mayfield and sign Hakanpaa but neither of those things are guaranteed, or even likely. I also think Hamonic will be closer to $2.5m personally. Quote There should be available cap space in any Schmidt trade to be able to sign a better UFA on D than Hamonic. Again, assuming you can actually get them here. And 'better' is probably a stretch. Different, sure. They're all second pair D. Quote Woo is 2-3 years away in my opinion. He would be replacing Myers I think on a 3rd pairing if Myers sticks around until the end of his contract. Or Hamonic when we re-sign him for 2'ish years Myers plays a different game. Quote Other than Woo we really have nothing on the farm or in the pipeline. Hughes, Rathbone and Juolevi are the young guys that have all graduated to the big leagues. We haven't got any blue chip guys but we do have guys (Jurmo, Persson, Truscott, Utunen). And we will continue to draft guys you know. We may add one this draft in fact. Quote I don't have a problem with all 3 in the lineup next year and you have Myers as a big body. Maybe you re-sign Edler and allow either Rathbone or Juolevi to transition more slowly into the lineup. But that still leaves 2 spots. If Edler is coming back I would hope that Schmidt gets traded to upgrade the right side and we sign a large body UFA like Hakanpaa or make a hockey trade for a Mayfield type. Sure, great if it happens... And I have little doubt management will make attempts to add some of these guys. But again, no guarantee. And I think some of you are under-valuing Hamonic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
