I get the impression that Hamonic really wants to stay, and would likely take a discount to do so. He is very family and community oriented, and this is a good place for him to be.
As for Brodie, he's simply good on the right side. You could probably pair him with Hanifin and still have a good pairing. Not so much with Hamonic because he would have to switch sides.
In any case, minor raises for each would be far from a disaster, and with the salary cap going up, it's not unreasonable for each to expect to sign for a similar % of the cap as they did when they signed their previous contracts, or maybe a bit more due to UFA status.
