S2 E7: Training Camp News!

Now, what I'm going to lead off with is actually something that has actually quite annoyed me in this offseason.

It's the Hellebuck situation in the Winnipeg Jets.

He's requested a trade in August.

He's been unhappy apparently for some time and wants out.

I think he wants to move back to the United States.

But that isn't quite happening.

He's been suspended after he's failed to report to camp.

Now general manager, Kevin, I hope I pronounce his name correctly.

Matt will be all over me if I don't travel day off, which kind of sounds like have a day off.

Uh, but he says the door remains open for hella book to come back and play and stay.

But if he's not turning up, it's essentially suspended so that he's not going to get paid.

Um, and that if they are going to trade him quite sensibly, they'll have to get the appropriate value for him.

Now.

This is a situation that really frustrates me because the nature of this issue isn't as easy as it seems.

Nobody seemingly wants to go to Winnipeg.

Now, this is a wider conversation about whether Winnipeg are a viable team, but all the players seemingly these days have no trade clauses.

Why...

This ever was a thing.

I don't really know.

And this is where we miss Matt to offer this insight.

But it's just ridiculous.

You go to work.

I have a job.

I'd have a clause in my contract to say I can't work in a particular place.

Why do these players have these controls about where and where they can't go? But this is the issue that Winnipeg are in.
