Hamonic is considered fully healthy after undergoing a knee surgery, Steve Warne of The Hockey News reports.
Hamonic missed 24 of Ottawa's final 25 games last season. The 34-year-old defenseman has been absent for significant stretches of three of the past four campaigns, so it's tough to see him exceeding the 70-game mark in 2024-25, especially given his propensity to block shots. Hamonic will be competing with Jacob Bernard-Docker for a third-pairing spot in 2024-25.
