    Default Hamonic opting NOT to play in 2020 playoffs

    Well this is interesting:

    He is also UFA after this season, so maybe we won't ever see him play as a Flame again.

    I wonder how these "opting out" rules work. If they opt out, can they opt back in later?
    10 Team, Points Only, Cash League

    25 Man Roster (no position), top 20 point getters count at end of month
    Keep 20/25 at seasons end, Cut 5 to FA for redrafting
    Goalie points W=2pt L=-1pt SHO=2pt

    Stamkos, Tavares, Eichel, Mercer, JRobertson, RThomas, Kucherov, Nugent-Hopkins, Tuch, KConnor, Necas, Point, Konecny, SJarvis, Cozenz, Morrissey, Bouchard, Josi, Novak, Tolvanen, Peterka, Brink

    G- Vasilevskiy, Sorokin, Oettinger

    We've seen this quite a bit in baseball already and full teams have withdrawn from the MLS tournament too. Hopefully with hockey being played in Canada, players will feel safer and not opt out.

    “Last year, we spent the longest, scariest and hardest week of our lives by our daughter’s hospital bedside,” Hamonic said in a statement. “We were unsure of what would come next or where this would lead, but with God’s strength our little girl fought her respiratory virus and recovered. During that long week, we were helpless and couldn’t do anything to help her except hold her little hands, kiss her head and pray. We saw what a respiratory virus can do to our healthy little girl and it’s something no parent wants or should go through. Now blessed with our second child, a baby boy at home, the risk of today’s COVID-19 pandemic is a very difficult one to weigh as parents.
    “Due to what my daughter already has gone through and the concerns if she were to catch COVID-19, I’ve decided to opt out and seek a leave of absence from the Calgary Flames for the remainder of the playoffs.”

    Manitoba has had 10 straight days without a case, seems like a pretty decent bubble if you ask me!!

    Winnipeg is the rumoured Hub City for the CFL.

    And nobody in Manitoba is excited about that!! To have 8 other teams come from out of province and possibly bring more cases here, even though they will be in the so-called "bubble"..

    That makes perfect sense. If you get dumped to the AHL to bury your contract because the team wants to keep it's more overpaid older players on the NHL roster, why bother?

    Alzner out. Although I'm sure the main reason is health, I also cant blame him if he doesnt want to be in a bubble and not even play.
