players will quarantine for weeks to play hockey, they will be tested every day.
let say he does test positive, he'll just have to quarantine a bit longer before returning home safely. I really don't see the problem.
I wouldn't be happy if I was CGY.

Wouldn't be happy that a player exercised his right given to him by the team, the league and the PA? To protect his children no less?

protect his children from what?
there's absolutely 0 chance Hamonic returns home positive.
if he ever tests positive, he'll go to quarantine.

Why risk it at all?

And most importantly, why give the players the right to opt out and then get angry when they chose to do so? Sounds like the catholic religion's way of thinking and that my friend is about as solid as a soup sandwich!

opt out if you have a medical condition, I'm all for it, like for Domi.
but because your wife or kids have a condition? sorry, I don't see the point.

He didn't have to give a reason at all!!

You don't approve? Let's see if I can get a manager on the line for you....

let see how many players will opt out for the same reason.
pretty sure teammates won't be happy. they won't say so on tv, but they won't be happy.

You would be pissed at a teammate for taking that decision?

yep.
as a team we go to war together. we'll quarantine for weeks (so won't see wife and kids) with the hope to win the cup.
and you Hamonic, you opt out because you don't want to quarantine 2 weeks in case you test positive?
pas fort chef

like I said, totally different thing if the player himself has a condition.

You dont even know his daughter's condition and you're just sh!tting on the guy because he made a decision considering his family's health.. if he was missing game 7 to attend the premiere of Fast and Furious 9, I would get it... but there's no answer required, you have your opinion and I have mine... but I'm sorry Dr Fido, you have fawk all idea of what the chances are he may bring it home to his family

yes, hospital employees who tested positive, and who after a quarantine and 2 negative tests were allowed to go back to work were all highly dangerous for patients. we all know that that it is well known.
