The fact that Hamonic had asked to go to a Canadian team and preferred one of the Western ones likely was a way bigger influencer there.
If he doesn't ask for a trade, I doubt the Islanders ever deal him. They had been a playoff team and were trying to still compete.
The situations are nothing alike.
