What exactly is it that Travis Hamonic brings to the flames?

Is he a good skater? Not really, he has little-to-no escapability with the puck and has atrocious gap control most nights.

Does he have a great stick? Nope. Whether it's tying up opponents by the crease or preventing cross-ice action, Hamonic isn't particularily good.

Does he play the body and negate defensive zone time that way? Nope.

Is he a strong outlet passer? Nope. In fact probably the worst outlet passer on roster. At least, not including Bartkowski who isn't an NHLer.

Is it offensive skill? I hope not, because Stone is miles ahead of him on that side of the red line.
