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?
- JETSWIN

Then hamonic will sit at home until a team makes the proper trade. There's no no trade clause here. Hamonic has no leverage.

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.

You honestly think the Oilers are going to be picking top five next year? I find that hilarious. There are 60 games to play and they should have McDavid for 40 of them.

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!
- BobTrost

Well, if he's willing to play for the islanders till 2020, why ask for a trade?

He will not "sit home" he will work his hardest till this is sorted out. Hammer will never pull a crybaby sit out!

Asked, not demanded! Key to this working out for the Islanders!

He's also not collecting welfare cheques, mean while the islanders are down atop 3 man

If it is for family reasons.. I have no insider info.....I wouldn't be do sure about that

The islanders will take Myers for hamonic straight up and like it
- JETSWIN

Keep dreaming bc Myers is just NOT that good, sorry....

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

No its NOT but keep telling urself that.....

I don't disagree. But you're not in a position to be able to demand more. That's really the simple truth.

I always thought Ek was taller.

Yes Snow is bc Hamonic is willing to stay the whole year on the island, unless you have some different info that no one else has....

Right..he stays this year. When comes home and tell Garth he's not coming back, now you're hooped.

Quick note, its a lot easier for Gm's & teams to reassess there roster in off-season then in the regular season, so lets not speculate what Hamonic will do if not traded by years end...

Again, I will state that you rarely get any rumour predictions right so I will question how you can term your sources as "reliable".

To PIT for Pouliot + Hornquist? Not sure if that is enough, but Johansen ($4mil/yr for 2 years) would be an awesome combo as RW with Crosby...
- mventres

Except Johansen is $6m next year isn't he?

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

if johansen is only a 2c, then kadri is barely nhl roster material.

Tanner thinks Gardiners a top 10 d in the league, just ignore...the guy probably curls for a hobby.

here we go with islander fans equating hamonics value to a superstar defender.
if I didn't know better, id think were talking about drew doughty, not travis harmonic.

they guy is good, a extremely quality top 4 option. and even a good top 2 on some teams.
but you guys are getting silly with what you think hes gonna bring back.

myers straight up is more than fair (even if we wanna surmise that harmonic is marginally better) but its sort of sideways move for the jets. I think taking on some salary and getting a player of myers caliber would be a very solid return for snow considering the circumstances

harmonic is the more dependable defensively, while myers is the better puck carrier/mover.

You honestly think the Oilers are going to be picking top five next year? I find that hilarious. There are 60 games to play and they should have McDavid for 40 of them.
- James_Tanner

Come on James...I actually watch the Oilers games, and have for many years. They are not very good. They will finish between 30th and 26th and draft between 1 and 8 depending how the lottery balls land on your chin.im a fan, but let's get real.

Like who..??? And what possible fair trade has been suggested by either fanbase? Its been more of your fanbase trying to unload that Schultz dude in part of a lousy package, did I mention lousy..

Okposo and Hamonic both would be huge for EDM. Not sure why folks over look Okposo.

You haven't heard that in weeks, the packages you hear about are more than fair, just don't meet the Isles needs.

Eberle and a 2016 2nd is certainly fair, even if the Islanders don't need a top line RW.

Fair for Oilers but not Isles, sorry bro, stop selling that it is....
