Quote:
Snow — who isn’t presently permitted to comment publicly about matters involving the organization due to his still being on the company payroll — wanted to do right by the player. But he also had a responsibility to the organization. Hamonic was, at the time, the kind of player that any good team would covet — a responsible, two-way defenseman that often went up against the other team’s top forwards. He was coming off of his best season, too, posting 33 points (5 goals, 28 assists) in 71 games for an Islanders squad that reached 101 points and endured a tough seven-game first-round series loss to the Capitals.
Time passed, and Hamonic rescinded the trade request less than a year later. He remained with the Islanders until the 2017 offseason when Snow dealt him to the Flames (along with a fourth-round pick) for Calgary’s first-round pick in 2018 and a pair of second-round picks
