Popular Post Jester13 Posted December 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 4, 2021 I think Hamonic gone all year has been an underrated reason to our poor season so far. Without him, it's forced guys like Rathbone, Hunt, and Burroughs to step in and play beyond their abilities. Hamonic is tough, sticks up for his teammates, plays PK, and is overall a very serviceable #4 rhd. I'm betting he'll make a big difference for the rest of the season. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I think he'll bring a lot of balance to the back end. Really sucks how many games we threw away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBatch Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Personally i'm glad Hamonic re-signed with us, and that he's ready to go. Felt in the off season we were going to be in real trouble if he didn't and with Edler walking .... having another serviceable get back there for sure will help both the PK and keeping the minutes stable for the rest of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm didn’t think about that possibility. Does seem kind of odd they wouldn’t want Hamonic as a possibilty tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamonic gets a couple games before he comes back up or it’s just a paper move to make the claim. Speculation but it makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to believe he gives us a better chance to win than Burroughs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t be “pumped” per say with the claim but we do need a lefty and a change could be good for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High profile prospect from the 2016 draft. That being said at this stage he’s probably just as much of a project as Juolevi. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Curmudgeon Posted December 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 4, 2021 Okay, I was thoroughly confused as to why, at 4:30 or so on a Friday, Hamonic is sent to Abby. They aren't playing tonight but are playing Saturday. So are the NHL Canucks. But I dug in to the AHL website and found out that Hamonic did not dress on November 27th, November 30th or December 2nd. Ergo, I don't think he has played at all since being sent down. Begs the question: Did he even report? Did he even practice? What has he been doing, and how can he expect to walk into the lineup not having played or practiced in a couple of weeks? 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we send him back to Abbotsford for playing time, but he’s not reporting or playing there? The whole Hamonic saga is tiring. Is he vaccinated or not? Will he report to Abbotsford or not? He did play one game there, didn’t he? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m thinking that maybe the Canucks have kind of soured on him after he told them he’d be ready and then wasn’t. Perhaps a trade in the works? He’s only got an 8 team no trade list so I’m sure they could find a team willing to trade for him. The emergence of Burroughs and the recent play of Schenn has made him somewhat expendable.

I think this team would be in an even worse place with out Burr 2.0. Besides, isn't Burroughs a right hand shot, and Claque a lefty? I agree that it may be that its Hamonic that is on the block. If its STILL a vaccine issue with Hamonic not playing with the baby Canucks. I just assumed he has been. Sad if he was suckered into the fake news anti-vax cult, but if he was and still is, then see ya later. I'm tired of it all too. Trouble is, who would take him if he's still unvaxed?
