Hamonic made 24 appearances for the Canucks this season scoring 3 goals and recording 4 assists for a combined total of 7 points on the season. He currently has 6 penalty minutes to his name and boasts a plus minus rating of +1 on the season.

Update: We now know the return for the Canucks. According to Ottawa Senators insider Bruce Garrioch, the Canucks will be receiving a third round draft selection in exchange for Hamonic.
