It would be Canuck luck to trade that 1st and then have it end up in a high lottery position, could you just imagine the melt down on CDC if that happened. Pass on trading our 1st.

canucklehead44 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Confusing, one article was saying he wants to be closer to Winnipeg and was suggesting Minnesota has interest. Vancouver is about 700KM further from Winnipeg than New York, how would we be in the running? Unless his family is willing to move to Vancouver/Calgary/Edmonton?

I'm willing to bet it has more to do with distance AND customs. Minnesota in running should nothing work with a Canadian team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say it has more to do with direct flights from Vancouver to Winnipeg. Also, he doesn't specifically say exactly where he needs to commute from. Just because he is from Manitoba doesn't mean his family lives in Winnipeg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of us know if all of his family can see him and if THEY have difficulty going through customs (aka: can't). And I've said this before, his family does live in Manitoba. I live 25 minutes from St Malo and drive through there all the time for work. I also have season tickets to Jets games, and his family is always at Jets vs. Isles games. So yes, they are in Manitoba.

Family is just incredibly important to him and some (not all) are just having difficulty. But nothing that suggests he should be avoided in a trade.

The people I watched must have had their heads up their butts, because they were saying that his family was in Alberta. That's two provinces off. That would definitely make Vancouver a way less likely candidate. Never trusts Americans on Canadian geography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy runs a program in Brooklyn for fatherless kids to meet with him after games. Literally one of the top character guys in the entire league. Go be negative elsewhere.

I'm not at all being negative, but rather responding to a series of posts about Hamonic having some weird stuff going on with close family back in Winnipeg.

canucklehead44 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 In defense of Alflives, I don't think he was being negative either and was just asking based on a few comments. Still don't understand how Vancouver is mentioned. The Jets are the only team that make any sense, and have the right assets (Byfuglien, Myers, Trouba or Enstrom as foundation pieces). And of course Winnipeg would want him on their team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cripplereh Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 you never know but far as family issues most families have one and that doesn't mean it will impact his play and many other sports aswell as hockey have this and means nothing at all just peace of mind for him to be closer!
