Boddy604 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 http://www.vancouversun.com/touch/story.html?id=11688274 “We have enjoyed our six years here,” Hamhuis said in an interview last week. “We enjoy the community, it’s a first-class organization, and I really believe in this team. I like the direction we’re going, I like our young guys, it is something I would like to be part of, for sure. “We’ll see how things go. You never know. We’ll see what their plans are. “Maybe they want me, maybe they don’t. “There are salary cap issues with the Canadian dollar, so that changes things on their side, too. There are so many moving parts with trades and with the cap this year. I am not sure how it is going to play out.” Sounds to me like Hamhuis is on board to stay or to go, with a preference to stay. But understands he may be asked to go. That's a good sign in determining if he even would waive his NTC if asked. Touches on the likelihood of other guys moving too.

Gstank29 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Sounds like he would resign back here if the money and term were competitive with what other teams were offering him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyllenhaal Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Best case scenario is we trade him to Washington, and he wins the cup then resigns with us in the offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Crossbar Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Great attitude grounded in his love of the game, the team, and the reality of business. Hope it's a win-win for both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 We need an all-encompassing Hamhuis thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Well Hamhuis We want to trade you for a premium watch you win a cup and sign you for a 5 year $3 million contract at seasons end Get er done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billabong Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 That's a guy who wants to win now considering his age without saying it outright and if I was him I'd be saying the same thing. And he cant re-sign here, it would be burying pedan or any other training camp surprise I'm assuming they're gonna re-sign Bart and biega or sign a free agent that fills in bigger needs at least edler-tanev Sbisa-xxxxx hutton-bart pedan-biega Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully support this idea. Once a Canuck, always a Canuck. Hamhuis should retire here, it just seems right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwijibo Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Sounds more like he was referring to what will happen after the season. Whether he will re-sign with the Canucks or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaudette Celly Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 He's no dummy, he sees what's happening. Like Bieksa before him, he knows the situation and will agree to be moved if they ask him, especially since it will probably be to a contender. Even then, he is a UFA and can sign with whoever he wants post-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickjim23 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Trade him for assets to a contending team like Washington and re sign him in the off season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpt.Clutch Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I thought he wouldn't be able to resign here if traded. If a player is traded at the deadline on an expiring contract, I believe the rules state he cannot resign with the team that traded him, thereby closing a loophole for teams wanting to build quick assests but keep their star veterans.

Good thing that rule doesn't exist. See Vermette, last summer, for most recent example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not aware of any such rule unless it's a brand new thing. There's been a few players who have done that. And being a UFA means you have the freedom to go where you want.
