Sure he has garnered more attention due to his request for a trade, and especially because he has asked to be moved to western Canada specifically.
However, he is a Dman in that Alzner/Hjalmersson type mold. A bigger bodied Dman who is solid defensively but still mobile and can move the puck well, and chip in offensively from time to time. Not to mention he's the perfect age as well.
If you look at the Flames top 3 D, this is the type that they are missing and Hamonic would be a perfect fit. Hopefully Jokipakka can become that type of Dman, but only time will tell.

This is how I view him as well. Maybe at the Boychuk level. Good player on a good contract.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
