I think if buff signs trouba will be the one going. He'd get more than myers but I also think that they WILL trade Enstrom instead and keep Buff Trouba and Myers 

I was against trading trouba but lawless made it make a lot of sense. Sure he might end up way better than Hamonic but he also might not. And Hamonic is a lot better right now. Still going. Great ckntract. And wants to be here. If you have other high end D men then it starts to make sense. Losing Trouba sucks but if it means Hamonic is coming in then it sucks a lot less. 

I wouldn't be surprised if Trouba is traded but I think Enstrom is more than likely going to be traded instead. Why? Simple Math.  He's the highest paid player on the team. He's gonna be traded.

Isles would probably have to add to Hamonic.  Maybe Strome... maybe a 1st. Maybe both. Hard to say exactly. But I think trouba for Hamonic is a bad trade unless the isles are adding a 1st at the very least. I'm starting to think Trouba will never be as good as some people want him to be. I think his off ice issues are very real. I think he is over valuing himself big time. Buff Myers Hamonic is fine with me.

Those three would be ok with me if Strome were coming this way too. Strome and a first with Hamonic? Where do I sign?

I'd take Brock Nelson also instead of Strome. From Warroad. Pretty much minny border town. Actually when younger we played a tournament there. I'd trade trouba for sure. If he don't want to be here... move his ass out. That's what it comes down 2 for me. Who knows what he wants tho.

They'd never give Nelson and Hamonic for Trouba............I'd throw in Petan tho.

Ya cuz petan definitely puts that over the top. For sure. 

So, they'd trade Hamonic and Strome for Trouba but not for Trouba and Petan?

Unfortunately you won't get Hamonic and Strome or Nelson for Trouba, best you could hope if they trade Trouba "and i don't think they will not this year anyways"is a guy like Anders Lee.

Trouba gets you Hamonic for sure. 1 for 1. I'm just saying I'm not sure I'd do that trade tho. Isles add a 1st and I do.

Can't see the Islanders trading Hamonic until season is over.

Would like to see Ladd, Enstrom, Stafford, Stuart, Pavelec, Thorbs all traded to cusp teams like Jersey, Pitts, Bruins...   blow it up, load up on picks and prospects.  Send Burmistrov to Moose, call up Halischuk

Agreed no way one for one and the Isle's would have to add, but i would like to see Trouba play 300-400 games berfore making a huge finacial obligation to him or trading him, remember Hamonic has asked for a trade  and wants to play here but lets not go crazy giving up a guy people thought would be the anchor of our d for years to come

Lot of peeps would say Ham better then Trouba atm.

I agree but the upside for Trouba is greater. That's the risk. He might never reach that potential. If he does then keeping him is the right call. But you never know. Plus the other factors of someone who might want to leave or make demands versus someone who wants to be here. And ham is a great player with a great contract. It might be worth having a lesser player at a lesser deal be part of a better core group long term. 

Don't forget that Trouba has played half amount of games Hamonic has, who will be better at the end i don't know i'm just saying let's not give up on Trouba just yet.
