The Islanders are in a playoff position with a fairly high chance to make it. Trading Hamonic would leave a huge gap on the team trying to fill in for their number 1 defenseman. Certainly things could have been brewing for awhile, but I see him as more of a draft day trade as opposed to a deadline deal trade.
Had it not been for Hamonic requesting the trade, I doubt Islanders are really entertaining trades for him at all. So if he's willing to play through the playoffs (and by indication he is) then I don't see an urgency to trade him.
