Alright... so this "Hamonic gets shelled" stuff has made me curious. Here's some content from an Oilers blog with a focus on advanced stats on him (https://www.coppernblue.com/2016/5/1...-in-disguise):

What we see with Hamonic is a player who's either a low-end top pairing or high-end second pairing defenseman. The fact that his rank doesn't change much from stat to stat means that his quality of teammates and competition is fairly standard. I'd lean towards calling him a low-end top pairing defenseman, because he managed to put up these number while playing top minutes, while a few players ahead of him have been extremely effective in their ice-time, but haven't had to carry the burden of playing 25 minutes a night.

Defensive Play:

His shot suppression is pretty average. According to stats.hockeyanalysis.com, his CA60RelTM was -0.80 last season. Since the start of 2012, it's -0.22, meaning that he's 0.22 shot-attempts worse than his most common linemates are defensively per 60 minutes. But while his defense is slightly worse than average, his offence still makes up for it, and more. His CF60RelTM was +7.22 last year, and it's +5.26 since the start of 2012-13.

CF%RelTM: the derivative of CF%-CF%QoT. This represents how much better a player was than the players he shared the ice with, weighted by how much ice-time he shared with each player.
Hamonic Rank: 61 of 197 Defencemen

xGF%RelTM: The same idea as the previous stat, but based on expected goals. This gives a higher weight to shots from high-danger locations.
Hamonic Rank: 58

Adj.CF%: CF%RelTM+CF%QoC. This stat gives a player who faces tough competition credit for who they play against. Since CF%RelTM is centered around zero and the average CF%QoC is 50%, this stat provides an estimate of what a player's CF% would be if he faced league-average competition, while also playing alongside league average talent.
Hamonic Rank: 62

Adj.xGF%: The same concept as the previous stat, but based on xG stats, rather than Corsi.
Hamonic Rank: 59

Mod.CF%: Short for Modified CF%- (((CF%RelTM+50)*0.8)+(CF%*0.2))+(CF%QoC-50). This stat is similar to Adj.CF%, but it's 80% based on outperforming teammates and 20% based on raw on-ice percentages.
Hamonic Rank: 64

Mod.xGF%: same as Mod.CF%, but with xG instead of Corsi
Hamonic Rank 63

Here are his Shot Attempts Relative % and Shot Attempts % the last four seasons:
2013-14: 1.4% / 50.2%
2014-15: -3.4% / 50.9%
2015-16: 1.7% / 50.6%
2016-17: -4.7% / 43.9%

Here are Brodie's:
2013-14: 8.1% / 51.4%
2014-15: 1.8% / 45.4%
2015-16: 1.9% / 49.4%
2016-17: -1.4% / 44.3%

Hamonic definitely had a very rough season this past year. His points per game stayed steady with last year at .29, but his hits per game have dropped dramatically from 3 per game to 2.1 to 1.2 this past season.

I dunno, I am still interested in bringing him in. The cost of acquisition might prove to be too high, but as a player and cap hit he appeals to me. That being said, I am counting on a bounceback.
