Report: Travis Hamonic is contemplating retirement. What does it mean for Pettersson, Hughes and the Canucks defence?

On paper, the (ghastly) Canucks defence was set.

Then training camp started, and the de facto top pairing was nowhere in sight. Now, there’s a chance they may not be reunited at all.

Quinn Hughes continues to miss training camp and preseason action because of a contract holdout, but reports from today are now suggesting that his presumed partner, Travis Hamonic, is contemplating everything from joining the team to sitting out the year, to retiring altogether.

Friedman: I'm really wondering that at the very least, Hamonic is considering opting out by October 1st, 2021.
