Defenceman Travis Hamonic won’t opt out of NHL season: Canucks GM

Oct 1, 2021 | 7:43 PM

VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Canucks say defenceman Travis Hamonic isn’t opting out of the NHL season, but he has yet to join the team. 

General manager Jim Benning said in a statement Friday on Twitter that the 31-year-old “remains at home, dealing with some personal matters” and that the team “continues to support him.”

Hamonic signed a two-year, US$6-million deal with the Canucks in July, but wasn’t in Vancouver when the team opened training camp Sept. 24.

The blue-liner from St. Malo, Man., played 38 games for Vancouver last season, registering 10 points (three goals, seven assists). 

Hamonic has played 675 regular-season games over 11 NHL seasons with the Canucks, Calgary Flames and New York Islanders.
