codynw is right, if you want to assess Hamonic's value ask yourself what you would give for Brodie. It's no coincidence that their contracts each year have been near identical since entering the league.

Again, I don't watch the Islanders at all. But from what I can gather from people here, Hamonic is much closer to a Russell-type stay at home dman who has some offense, than a high flying offensive catalyst like Brodie.
Brodie's contract be darned, he's worth a lot more than what he's getting. I don't think you can just look at their salaries/age and assume they are the same.
