86Viking Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 this is just par for the course, i am actually surprised this didn't happen on day 1 of the season. All the best to Mr. Hamonic and whatever he is dealing with must be quite serious but family first/ mental health first etc... I will never jump to conclusions as to why he didn't how up to camp etc but some of you seem to want to be nosey and come up with your own assumptions...when you all should just let it go and go get some fresh air outside or something!? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate that after all the work they’ve done in Rick Rypien’s honour they aren’t turning their back on Hamonic - who has been reportedly having a very tough time with this. Such an important take. Regardless of any roster implications, the team is trying to take care of the human before he becomes a sad example story. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Some people need to find more to do with their life than obsess about the reasons for why a marginal NHLer isn't on the team. Like... the answer to your question isn't actually going to resolve any problem in your own life. This comment is moreso directed at Twitter than CDC.

rekker Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Hope whatever Travis is dealing with can work out for him. The team is far better with Hamonic on the roster. He is old school and this team needs some of what he brings. Actually, lots of what he brings. Hope he can be back soon, when he's ready. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 3 hours ago, ilduce39 said: At the very least they feel like they can’t terminate the contract and need to keep an eye on next season. This of course aside from the possibility that Hamonic and/or his family are going through something that warrants this kind of rope. Which could still very well be the case. this seems more and more likely. Jim's been pretty firm in his support. I'm sure the players appreciate seeing that. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very impressed with Burroughs. He keeps things simple. Great depth dman. And heck, who could get tired of hearing that name around here. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If himself was dealing with mental health he could have gone on LTIR, like Drouin did. In the LTIR route he would have continued to be paid and Vancouver would have got more cap relief.

Maybe there's no provision in the CBA for a leave of absence so a suspension might be the only way to do it while avoiding the cap hit. kind of reminds me of Byfuglien in Winnipeg a couple of years back It started out sounding all nicee then degenerated into a regular suspension we'll see how it goes this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like the team and the player are working through this together, but due to the team's efforts to give the Hamonics privacy, fans (and the media) are filling the void with speculation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patel Bure Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Most importantly, Hamonic's 3 million is off our books which can now possibly allow Benning to make some moves at a later date. Wish Travis all the best in whatever he's dealing with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think things will go as far south, and I hope not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He cannot… Hamonic could theoretically come back anytime, so we can’t spend his cap hit. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine towards the TDL, we'd have a pretty good idea if he plans on playing at all this year. And in the playoffs, there is no cap. Perhaps Hamonic comes back then? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
