So, where does Hamhuis end up?

Im hoping in vancouver for a toronto maple leaf style hometown discount but I doubt it and I hate reading shit like this from players

Dan Hamhuis certainly gets recognized when he walks down the street in his northern B.C. hometown of Smithers, where he and his family spend their summers.

Whether the Nashville Predators defenceman is wild about the idea of the same experience in downtown Vancouver is a another question.

Would he consider signing in Vancouver if the opportunity arose? The Canucks fishbowl would be polar opposites from anonymous Nashville.

"Vancouver is one of those cities that you look at," said Hamhuis, who's finishing a three-year deal that paid him $2.5 million last season with a $2-million cap hit. "There's certainly pluses and minuses in playing in a market like that -- especially after playing in one like Nashville where you do remain quite anonymous and that's a nice way to live, too. So that's one thing we'll miss about Nashville, but at the same time it's exciting to play in front of a crowd that lives for hockey and in a sold-out building every night.

"There's benefits and negatives to everything and if we go to free agency we'll have to weigh those things out."
