Will you be Mad at Hamhuis if He doesnt waive his NTC??

[PrinceOfPucks]

Keep in mind he left around 3 million dollars on the table and gave us a huge discount in 2010 in exchange for the NTC.

Big time family man, possibly cares more about family over the Stanley cup.

Coming off major major surgery and injury and quite possibly he wouldn't mind having a shorter season rather than a playoff grind.


So would you be mad if exercises his right to NTC. Or do you blame Gillis for handing out NTCs like candies on Halloween.

[Rotting Corpse*]

Not even a little bit.

 

[CRDragon]

Its hard not to be mad as a fan, but he's just exercising his rights. And he's earned the rights to make the choice for himself and his family.

If the Canucks didn't give Hamhuis a NTC the idea of getting assets back for him at the end of his contract wouldn't even be a discussion. He simply wouldn't have signed here.

 

[m9]

Yes.

I'm just being honest and selfish.

 

[Flik]

Yes and no. Maybe not "mad" but disappointed.

I know he gave up a lot to sign here, and I'd hate to see him go, he's been such a great player for us... but he'd really be doing us a solid by waiving and helping the future of this team.

Hell, if he was really wanting to re-sign here in the summer I'd be elated to take him back, if he waives he'll only be helping his future team, either in the playoffs, or by returning some good assets for the Canucks.

It does sound like he'll probably waive though. Just the comments he's made about discussing it with his family, etc.

Hamhuis rocks, he'll do the right thing.

 

[Rex Banner]

Yes, just in case he's reading this thread. Don't want him thinking people want him around here. Waive Danny Waive.

 

[Seattle Totems]

Hamhuis has already said that he will waive his NTC. If he does not get traded this is all on Benning. That's where the anger should be directed.

 

[Kickassguy]

Nope. He earned it and has given his all to the franchise. He can do what he wants with it.

But it sounds like he's inclined to waive it.

 

[Rotting Corpse*]

Yes, just in case he's reading this thread. Don't want him thinking people want him around here. Waive Danny Waive.

This is abhorrent.

 

[Love]

No I won't.

I have a lot of respect for him as a hockey player, and even more for him as a person. He's a great guy and he has the right to do what he wants and what is best for his family.

 

[deckercky]

If he won't waive then re-signs with the team at a fair cap hit and term, I'm happy. If he won't waive then signs elsewhere in the off season, I'll be bitter.

 

[MS]

Not even remotely.

God forbid if the guy loves this franchise and loves having his family in Vancouver and wants to stay.

 

[Nuckles]

If he wants to re-sign (and all signs point to that), then no. Do I think the Canucks would be better off long-term trading him (for a 1st)? Yes.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Only if he wasn't re-signing.

If he stops the trade to leave July 1st then ya I wouldn't be happy.

 

[PrinceOfPucks]

Hamhuis has already said that he will waive his NTC. If he does not get traded this is all on Benning. That's where the anger should be directed.

Lol. So many flavours why u gotta choose salty ?

Hamhuis just did an interview and says he needs to discuss w. Family. He has never said he will waive.

Your Benning hate Is making you look bitter bro.

 

[D0ctorCool]

He has the right to not waive, and I'll have the right to hate him for it.

 

[The Stig]

Nope. Thats his right, and he earned it. Plus how could you be mad at a guy that wants to be here?

 

[WetcoastOrca]

I won't be angry. He signed below market and was a warrior for this team.
He has a no trade that he negotiated.
Of course, I hope he does waive and I expect given the state of the team and the chance to go to a team like Chicago that he will waive.

It's totally up to him.

 

[Nomobo]

Yeah, I'll just take my ball and go home.

 

[Nucker101]

I'd be disappointed but not mad at him. He turned down a lot of extra money to sign with us, even after multiple teams traded for his UFA negotiating rights.

If he really wants to stay, I'd like to see Linden(not Benning) try to convince him to pull an Antoine Vermette.

 

[ItsAllPartOfThePlan]

nope. I really question the "fandom" of people who say they would hate him

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

If he wants to be re-signed and is re-signed, then no. He can be a valuable veteran presence during a rebuild.

If the Canucks' plan is to let him walk anyway, I'll be a bit choked. If he sticks it out and bolts in the summer, I'd be choked too.

 

[Win One Before I Die]

If I was Hamhuis I would be on the first plane out of Vancouver onto a contending team. He won't ever win a cup here.

 

[m9]

nope. I really question the "fandom" of people who say they would hate him

I don't think anyone would hate him.

Hamhuis has been a very good player for us, but given where this organization is at I hope he moves on. But, it would be completely understandable if he wanted to stay, he's earned/negotiated that right.
