Let's see if Hamonic makes the World Cup team next fall.

My opinion is is far more overrated in this thread than underrated.
Oh for sure, I think Dougie has really picked it up over the last 7-10 games and I hope he continues to develop and start getting Team Canada looks. If I were to compare the two, I would say Hamilton has the higher ceiling, Hamonic has the higher floor.

But just speaking to Hamonic in particular... The guy would be near untouchable in New York if it weren't for his trade request, so I understand why the Isles asked for Brodie (and I can understand why the Flames said no).

Much like you were saying earlier, Isles are poised to lose this deal, but we can't discount Hamonic as a player because of it.

What's with the hostility? He was 23, and getting looks from Team Canada...now he is 25, and likely getting additional looks...
