Travis Hamonic is a 25-year-old right-shooting defenceman who already has 342 NHL games under his belt. Selected 53rd overall by the New York Islanders, he's found a home there - a home he apparently wants out of, for undisclosed personal reasons.
And he wants to go to western Canada.
Hey, Calgary is in western Canada!
Hamonic loves the Isles. This is personal. Wpg, Edmtn, Cgy and Van all preferred. Might expand to other west cities. Tough on Isles....

Here's the deal: Hamonic is a very good player.
