Confirming report from @FriedgeHNIC, Travis Hamonic requested a trade prior to the start of the season. #Isles trying to accommodate.

wow.

Damn it would be tough to trade Hammer, but he is a good guy and I hope everything works out.

So then why would he sign a 7 year deal? That doesn't make any sense sorry
- Vukota

I thought the same thing.

How about Hamonic, Bailey and Okposo to Edm for Jordan Eberle, Mark Fayne, and 2016 2nd?

no, we get worse now.

Hamonic for Edler or Enstrom

That's what I thought it sounded like, but then Ur Not Me said he was told that Hamonic first asked to be traded a few years ago.......although it's possible that someone (his mother?) has had an illness that is getting progressively worse...
- JohnScammo

I'd bet it was this, I have a hard time seeing hamonic wanting to bail now if it wasnt something extremely important.

How's Garth trading from weakness? Hamonic doesn't have to be dealt, so what Karma?
Brodie I agree, so whoever is fine and not sure if Dougie has a NMC.
Garth could get equal or overpayment from another team bc its still early into season plus the friendly contract for a top 4 dman, which are usually not available.

It's tough that this news got out, but hopefully the Isles can get good value for Hamonic.

Hamonic for Griffin Reinhart

argh...don't want fayne. this sucks. winnipeg for trouba would be the only one that would help and the jets would want more if they even entertained that.

Hamonic for Edler or Enstrom
- rangerdanger94

edler is garbage this year...and since 2011 really.

It's tough that this news got out, but hopefully the Isles can get good value for Hamonic.

once the news leaks, value goes down. snow's hands are tied and everyone knows it now. we're going to get a package of crap.

Hamonic for Griffin Reinhart

I'd love to see reinhart's expression if that happened LOL,but no thanks

It's a tough situation all around and the last thing the team needed. Pulock really needs to be up now.

Enstrom is available.

ouch.

it's going to affect our cap situation negatively as well.

DONE!!!

it's going to affect our cap situation negatively as well.
- Isles_since_6

That's the one reason why we may not get fleeced on a trade. We may get back equal talent, but it may cost us more.........which is sort of getting fleeced a little, but there's no way to avoid it now that it's public.

It's very tough, but I do not want this to be used as another excuse for Cappy or anyone else.

1rst rounder + Fayne for Hamonic and Bernier?

I would not mind adding a little more to the deal. Will be interesting to see what happens with KO and Frans. Still rather not have KO leave for nothing especially.

fayne is crap.
- Isles_since_6

And Bernier is...
Pretty much the 1rst for Hamonic but you get a right shot D back.

- Wildschwein

Hamonic + 2nd for Nurse

Also, can someone please explain why anyone would want to discuss anything with Anthony Weiner - much less advertise that they are as if it will be interesting?

Saw this guy on Maher recently. He acts as if he is still elected and actually popular in some way. If Huma wasn't Hillary's gatekeeper and geriatric cognitive interpreter Anthony would be mopping floors in the basement at Media Matters.
