Flames' Travis Hamonic: Opts out of 2019-20 season

Hamonic has opted out of playing once the 2019-20 season restarts.

Analysis:

The NHL announced its plans to return to play Friday, but Hamonic will elect to not join the team out of family concerns amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The defenseman battled an upper-body injury prior to the suspension of play and only picked up 12 points over 50 games this year.
