There is no question Hamonic's play declined and he did not seem content in his reduced role.

But when it comes to him opting out during the playoffs, I think he deserves the benefit of the doubt. I think it's completely reasonable that at the time, he was anxious because of the risks, and now 6 months later, he has come to terms with the new normal.

I think society in general has moved in that direction.

I'm just saying, don't be so quick to judge someone until you walked in their shoes. We don't know what is going through his mind at the time. As someone who suffered personal tragedy at a young age, he could be wired in a way that makes taking unknown risks difficult.

What we know now is that the NHL bubble worked really well. He now has the ability of hind sight to make a more informed decision about returning.
