If the Leafs were ever actually interested in Hamonic, I would see if there is a deal structured around Hamonic for Nylander or Marner. Leafs actually have a pretty good cap situation, but a trade like that could free up some space for them to take a run at John Tavares which would give them impressive depth at center (Matthews, Tavares and Kadri) with enough servicable wingers (one of Marner/Nylander, Hyman, Brown, Marleau, possible re-signing of JVR and Johnsson coming up from the minors).
I have my doubts as to whether Hamonic has much value, but that would be a trade that could possibly help both teams.
