The thing about Hamonic and Okposo is it's not like a team is having to pry them out of an Islanders uniform, not saying they aren't great players. But given that Hamonic wants the trade, and Okposo is gone in the summer, no ones going to pay an arm and a leg for em. That said packaged together you should get a nice return.

The funny thing is that snow wants a defenseman, but we have pulock, but we don't know if he's ready because he's in the ahl so we can keep playing Brian strait. If pulock had been up and playing we'd know where he is in his development.

Nobody really wants Okposo, but Hamonic would be a great add on the Oilers, more so than the other teams on the list. Like I said, bit of an overpay, but Eberle and our 2016 2nd ( 31-35th pick no doubt) with room to negotiate ,to any team that can pry Hamonic out of the Island.

I know you don't want him, not sure you speak for the 28 other clubs tho, that's why I floated it out there.

Besides, who wants to deal with you Jabronis after a trade?

Meh....he'll be okay in a few years...but I won't surprised if he's just a bottom pair D like the other man child D drafted too early like Gudbranson, Ekblad, and Myers.

I would not trade Myers. I am expecting him to have a monsterous second half.

Hamonic is exactly the type of player the jets are missing and need. Myers straight up is fair compensation

No it's not! Hamonic is not flashy, but he is type of guy you build around. Hamonic is the second most valuable asset the Islanders have. He is the type of guy you don't notice. I absolutely hate the thought of him going.

Exactly!! But you would never trade a guy like that if you didn't have to. But, unfortunately you do, so sometimes you have to take what you can get.

Garth knows what he has, he will wait till the offer is right, but if I'm the Jets. I would go all out for a great team player who would love to be there! How often to players want to go to the Jets?

So hamonic plays the year out and comes back home. When he tells Garth he'll stay home till a deal is done, what do you think he gets then?

I think Johanson is going to be a special player in this league...Hamonic is very good....but is a special player?
- Jeropotato


Yeah he is. A right-shooting top-pairing D man is better than a second line centre.

He is under contract till 2020. He will play hard till he is dealt. He will never give a half assed effort. Too bad some scumbag went public with a very private request!
