I actually think a lot of the criticisms of Hamonic come because he's often the only guy back because Hanifin is up ice, put in a bad spot with a late pass from Hanifin (with forecheckers right on him), or otherwise dealing with Hanifin's gap and positioning.
I think Hamonic does better with a more predictable, by the numbers, partner. Unfortunately, he's ended up with Brodie (at his most unpredictable) and Hanifin, who goes on a frolic of his own fairly often, and his other possibilities are Kylington, who is equally unpredictable or Gio (which would work fine, but Gio needs to be there to support Brodie or Andersson).
Hamonic would work well with a structured and conservative guy who can skate, like say Jaybo, as a defensive pairing.
