I thought Hamonic was one of the few right handed D available then.
Toronto made an offer and they were turned down. There were lots of rumors that he could go to the Jets (Buf was out), the Oilers and the Canucks. His contract was only 3.8M for 3 years. Many thought he would put Calgary over the top as far as defense.
