LOL... there were some oilers fans who didn't think a 4 for Hamonic was "worth it" and that the Isles should throw something else in?!

My guess is that Snow wasn't in a rush to make a deal until/unless Hamonic forced his hand (probably hoping that what happened would happen).
A 25 year-old top-pairing defenceman who is signed for 4 more seasons at less than $4 million per season isn't something a GM is going to be happy to trade away.
