He is valuable and anyone who doesn’t think so is not looking at all the historical evidence to suggest otherwise.

Is Hamonic a legit top 4 though? Not trying to be snarky or start something. Not sure how the rest of the league views him at this point but I thought we were getting a waaaaay better player than we got. I think he gets by on reputation mostly. He was billed as an elite defensive defenseman but I find his shutdown skills unimpressive, especially against top end talent. I actually think he weighs Hanifin down, would love to see Hanifin-Andersson for an extended stretch.
You are probably right though and he could fetch a 2nd or a 2nd+ from a contender looking for defensive depth. I just dont know if Brad would do that, he might look at hamonic as an 'own rental'. I think we could absorb his loss pretty easily honestly. I have a lot of faith in the rest of the defense.
