Thought we were supposed to trust the process, but they continue to try and rush it. Hopefully they don’t trade another first in the off season, unless you don’t care about the future of the team.

Hamonic is absolutely not the reason for our struggles so pointing the finger at him is just another pathetic attempt by you to cast a shadow on the wrong guy.
There are many other obvious choices. The trade may look terrible in hindsight if the team misses the playoffs but it was a calculated risk at the time.
My personal opinion on the position we’re in, in no specific order:
- Terrible special teams as a whole, specifically the powerplay.
- Inability to address the talent level on the bottom 6 although they’ve been better lately.
- Mike Smith getting injured. Our backups have not been good since he went down.
- As Kent Wilson put it, “the shocking decline of TJ Brodie”. Although this goes back a couple of seasons.
- Some absurd coaching decisions but I don’t think the team has quit on GG.
- Johnny and Monny disappearing at the absolute worst time.
Anyways, Hamonic is on a great contract with term remaining, he’s rock solid defensively and those guys don’t come cheap.
