He could be the steal of the waiver wire, always liked his game. Seemed like the guy with the most upside on the waiver wire. Was hoping we’d get him and try him as the 3C. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benning seems to try for former 1st-3rd round draft choices as reclaimation project pickups hoping to build them into all purpose players. The two he acquired for Jolevi come to mind. In answer to your question...I don't effing know... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmaster Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 (edited) Looks like Hammy cleared waivers as per 650am’s presser that is on right now. JB said will likely report to Abby when he is ready. Unknown if or when he joins the big club. “Personal matters” still an issue (whatever that is). Update: JB says “it’s bigger than what you guys think” (re the personal matter) Edited October 11, 2021 by grandmaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Update: JB says “it’s bigger than what you guys think” (re the personal matter) Until the true story is known, if ever, it’s best to just treat the Hamonic re-signing as just another move that hasn’t worked out and has used up cap that won’t benefit the team. Hamonic has always been a high drama inducing player at every stop in his career though, that’s just fact. Whatever the issue is, it’s better to just let it play out and not worry about it. I hope he is ok and resolves whatever is going on for him. I doubt Hamonic will play for the Canucks this season and that’s ok. Wish they had used that cap on someone who would but whatever. Life happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, I'm sharpening my pitchfork incase it comes out he's not vaccinated and I'll be on the front lines with y'all if that is the case. Until then, I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. This pandemic has been hard on all of us, can't imagine the stress of raising an immunocompromised child in this climate. At this point I'm going to take the approach of assuming positive intentions - something I don't do enough of but I'm trying. That is to say I'm going to assume Travis had the intentions of fulfilling his contract responsibilities to the best of his ability and JB was going to honor his end as well - but somewhere between signing the contract and the start of camp something unforeseen developed and led to the current situation. Sounds from JB's media update that it's bigger than some people understand - it would be the respectful thing to do and give Travis space/time to deal with what he has to deal with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Glad Bailey cleared. That guy should without a doubt be on our 4th line. Another player completely overlooked by Canucks management. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid 2 way Centre to cover for Sutter. Mild amount of risk due to his being paid more than can be buried… but is an upgrade on a number of our bottom 6 guys and not too expensive. It seems like they want to try Miller as a 3C though I watch the Oilers and Turris was probably the worst Oiler last season. Complete liability. Absolute shell of a player he used to be. Zero confidence combined with zero effort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know enough about Lammikko but if Lockwood continued form then that's a great fill in line for sure! Can't wait for Motte to be back!

Yes no show harmonic means wasted cap space, unless he miraculously shows up. Even threatens to play in the US for more money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main point was the list (assuming it's meant to show wasted cap space) wasn't very relevant any more. Not directly too you, but in general. Been on the forum for years. The critiques of spelling over the years has been getting me irked too.. if it wasn’t for the auto correct, you would have a hard time with my writing. Hey, we both likely hate the recapture penalty, but it didn’t cost us with Hughes and Petey. cause if JB had the money, it would be theirs atm. peace.

To be fair, that's a world issue, not a CDC one. Like it or not, poor spelling/grammar makes whatever someone writes harder to read and understand. And fair or not, makes the reader create assumptions about the writer's intelligence/education level, and hence question the value of the content.
