The impending threat of an expansion draft is such an interesting wrinkle.
Without it, I'd love for the Flames to go after Hamonic. Now it just wouldn't make sense unless we're willing to do the protect 8 skaters option, or make a trade with the expansion team not to select our 4th defenceman.
The teams he was interested in going to to be close to home were limited to begin with, this only makes the list shorter. Vancouver and Edmonton should be all over the Islanders as they could easily make it work for an expansion since they have such turds on D.
