Selling from a playoff team is a recurring fantasy from pessimist fans but not something that GMs and owners who covet the Stanley Cup go for. If you bomb in the playoffs and a guy walks, well at least you went down swinging and you get cap space as an asset anyways.
I could see Hamonic getting moved as part of a bigger deal.

Ie Hamonic for picks. (To contender)
Picks plus a roster player for top 6 RW (to seller)

Maybe you take back a #7 D on an expiring contract for depth/cap balance in the first trade.
