Let some other team overpay him like the Canucks are probably already regretting overpaying Myers.

Hamonic is overpaid already. I don't see a sucker out there that's going to put up that kind of money for him. He's is pretty good on PK, but other than that he looks like a 3rd pairing guy forced to play in over his head.
That said, part of the issue is likely that Hanifin - Hamonic is a pretty bad pairing. Both of those guys need a partner that reads the game better than they do. Them not holding their own as a 2nd pairing is IMO this teams biggest weakness, they should have been split up yesterday to try anything else.
