We have five minutes of Snow discussing why he traded Hamonic, and what he's looking to do from here.
In the end, they had nine roster defenders, resigned Seidenberg who played Hamonic's side. Now we see if the draft picks are taken in future, or included in a deal for another player.
To resign Tavares to a huge deal if that's possible meant cutting somewhere else in a cap league.
Always a sad day to lose a long time player, who was so very popular, but this is a part of the business.
I don't want to hit this part very hard, but clearly Hamonic did struggle, and was injured a lot the last few years or playing hurt often, hopefully a change to Calgary helps in both regards.
Ok, thirteen minutes of audio from Hamonic was posted, Snow's video is up, and draft analysis is on the sidebar of the trade.
The prospect website has profiles posted for all the new draft picks.
A Sound Tigers employee sent me a tweet that Doyle Somerby is waiting for UFA on 8/15.
