Hamonic has reversed course and is no longer looking to be traded away by the Islanders, Arthur Staple of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hamonic originally put his request in at the start of the season, citing family reasons for moving closer to western Canada. The news likely comes as a huge relief for general manager Garth Snow who is no longer in the market for a top-end blueliner and can continue building on the success of the 2015-16 season. While Hamonic is not going to put up huge offensive numbers, he logs a ton of minutes, 23:49 per game this year, including helping out shorthanded.
