The problem with an Eberle for Hamonic trade is the Isles have De Haan who had a good year and is an RFA. He could get $3.5 mil is my guess. NYI has 2 mil cap space. If Eberle for Hamonic happens the Oil would have to take Kulemin, Grabovski, Halak or Chimera back.
Also NYI has Boychuk, Leddy and De Haan. If they trade Hamonic it makes more sense doing it before the expansion draft. If so the Oil have Sekera, Klefbom and Larrson. They too can't protect 4 dmen (unless they protect 8 players)
Avs deal for Duchene makes more sense. Avs have 0 issues protecting Hamonic and IMO Duchene is better than Eberle so NYI should be all over him
