We can probably do a Hamonic for someone swap. I wonder what his ntc looks like. I'd assume all CDN teams are on it.

I'm sure JB will find some waiver scraps.

The Leafs like to but they are on the wrong side of the border.

So far OEL & Poolman look good, I really don't care either way if Hamonic plays.

OEL + Poolman looked better than Edler - Tanev did together

Pre-season only but so far I like the chemistry and steadying presence that pairing provides combined with OEL’s offensive talent.

Should take pressure off the rest of the defense

His contract should be voided. Missed last night's game but I see that the Canucks are going to be challenging for 1st in the division.

So we trade a first to Buffalo to take on a player that’s going to retire after the trade? Does anyone on here think before they post? Rhetorical question

It’s fine we are trading the rights to retire his jersey for a 1st. It’s all been settled. Please update your blog Carol

Is this a requirement or an option?

Huh? I thought we were talking about Hamonic and who would be interested in acquiring a player who wasn’t going to play, or play the entire season. If he was in Arizona he would miss a bit ch of games against the Jets, and a few trips to Van/Edm/Cal and one trip each to Mon/Tor/Ott

From the information at hand, he is A) playing for Van B) retiring C) sitting out the season.

In which of the 3 scenarios is he requesting or willing to except a trade south of the border? Unless new info has come out that I’m unaware of.

I posted a twitter quote of Hamonic considering playing in the US so that he would miss the fewest number of games.

You asked who would be willing to acquire a player considering retiring, I provided two potential teams who are barely at the salary floor. Where you got the 1st round picks from I have no idea.

Perhaps his decision would be easier if he was offered a trade to a USA team. I get what people are saying here... We can only speculate what exactly is going on with this right now.

I’ve read a bunch of different speculation, but at the end of the day that’s all it is. If he wants to play but doesn’t want to be vaccinated, then playing in a US division with few Canadian teams is his best option. If he’s vaccinated and is afraid of the level of contact and the risk of catching a variant, then he should opt out. We should know by Friday.

All credible sources say it’s Van, retire or sit out a year. Until I see a credible source I’ll assume those are the options

I was asking before if he was mentioned as one of the Canucks that already got Covid?

He's probably less likely to get Covid than the vaccinated then.
