The Islanders were a very good 5on5 team except for Hamonic.
The Islanders missed the playoffs by 1 win last season. You think that Hamonic was in their long term plans at the end of last season?

It certainly appears we gave up too much for Hamonic based on what we've seen so far, and I've been as critical about him as anyone on this forum. But I still believe he's a long term player that'll improve and solidify the back-end.
