RUPERTKBD Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I agree that this sounds more like he's talking about next season, but as a guy who's met Hammer on several occasions, I can tell you that he's a stand up guy. If the Canucks asked him to waive, he'd listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. You are thinking of Compliance Buyouts where teams who bought out players were then not allowed to reacquire them via signing or trade or probably even waiver claim, until I believe the end of the bought out contract. So if the contract you bought out had 5 years remaining, then you couldn't reacquire that player for 5 years. Because Cap Circumvention rules. Anyways, I think you are thinking of ^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether he will re-sign with the Canucks or not. Yes, this, absolutely. Those that say that anywhere in this interview Hamhuis said anything that suggested he's fine with whatever the team wants and would waive his ntc should read his words again. They don't say that. They don't even imply that. He might waive. He might not. He didn't say anything about it either way in that interview. 54 minutes ago, Hutton Wink said: 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. Being no dummy, he'll realize that: (a) Bieksa wasn't faced with being away from his family for the rest of the season. while that is exactly what people are suggested be asked of Hamhuis; (b) Bieksa wasn't in the position where he'd shortly be an UFA, while Hamhuis is and by staying put, not uprooting or being away from his family for the short time remaining on the season, he's in a position to go wherever the best situation for him is. Again, I'm not saying he will or won't waive, but his situation is different from Bieksa's was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nergish Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 25 minutes ago, Mathew Barzal said: Mmm, trying my best not to get excited for the deadline but all the possible juicy trade combinations are making me salivate. I think it's almost impossible that Benning doesn't land us something substantial (be it a nice pick in the draft, somebody making a real impact or showing real promise instead of signs of bust-ing, or a highly touted young player [preferably on D or with 1st line potential], or a handful of quality pieces). The question is what, and at what cost? I trust Benning, and I think the fan-base will be happy (we've waiting patiently for some real shakeups and now it is time). But I sure hope he capitalizes on this moment because our team needs a new identity. I get the gut feeling, being that Benning is a scouting guy, that his main target is a draft-elligible player. I just hope to christ it's one of those Finns or the draft's top Dman. Or.... if he wants to make the absolute top headline story on Sportscentre / make a name for himself, he'll go after Mathews. Again, all depends on what it takes to accomplish, but it's going to be freakin fun to see how it plays out. There might be a TON of flipping going on too between now and the draft - remember Boston last year getting Jones and flipping him for a first (or who could forgot the dealing Burkie made to get the Twins in their draft)? Trader Jim might have to package things together and flip pieces to get what he wants/what we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpt Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Hammer deserves to take a run at the Stanley Cup, that won't happen here before he retires. I wish him well; even if he wants to re-sign here in the off season just to dump him yet again at the trade deadline for another playoff contender.

Quantum Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 The Canucks need to pull a Vermette with him. Trade him to a contender, get as many assets as they can for him, wish him luck in his quest for a Cup and then sign him for a bit of a discount (again) in the summer. It's a Win/Win.

The team will need another top 4 guy, who will likely cost around the Hamhuis $. Bart is hardly a replacement and I don't know if Hutton will be ready to step up. Ima, they have to bring in a UFA that can move the puck and q-back the pp (which is why I put Demers in the lineup). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 1st and 2nd round picks is fine by me. then trade Vrbata + Weber for Juulsen. Bartkowski to a playoff team for a 5th/6th round pick. Tank for Laine or Puljuaarvi. D.Sedin - H.Sedin - Hansen Beartschi - Horvat - Puljuaarvi/Laine Shinkaruk - Sutter - Burrows Gaunce - McCann - Virtanen Edler - Tanev Hutton - Sbisa Pedan - Biega winnninnggg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockhart Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I'd be happy to take him back on lesser contract. Say 3x3, full NMC and he can finish off his career here on the 3rd pairing. After trading him this year of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vrbata isn't exactly the missing piece to get them into the playoffs and Weber wouldn't even be close to cracking their top 8. Not to mention Weber was essentially cut from Montreal when they chose not to qualify him. No chance they trade Juulsen for that. I doubt Hamhuis gets a 1st and a second either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanTSN Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 He referred to some of the business aspects of the game that affect these decisions from a Canucks standpoint, but the call is his. Teams usually do not let these type of players go unless they have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANUCK-EXPRESS Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Good on Hamhuis. He understands the situation here with the youth movement. Trade him to Caps and resign him for one year in the offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
