It’s well know he’s a Minny boy who enjoys the outdoors - boating, fishing, hunting in the summer and ice fishing in the winter. If anything Winter-pegs proximity to Minny is favorable which is why Jets have so many Minny players

So he either wants to go to minny on sweetheart deal or he wants to go play in one of Arizona, Florida, Nevada or California teams with the perfect weather.
That's the only reason to walk away from Winnipeg and his contract. He simply doesn't want to play there.
This entire situation is a joke
Was he hurt in the summer and never told the team and now Peg is held hostage and Chevy couldn't do anything til his grievance was dealt with
If he doesn't want to be to there fine ask for a trade and move on
There would of been plenty of suitors for his services with 1 year left on his deal
Plenty of shit that we don't know about behind the scenes

He’s simply not interested in training required to be a pro player. He’s made enough $ and enjoys the simple outdoor Minny life. Like Tim Thomas some players just don’t need all that much and have different drive.

Trades may or may not work, depending on return and what teams think about him trying to force one.
Signing a contract as a free agent is much easier, and he has complete control.

How much do you want to bet hes back in the NHL, not in Winnipeg within 12 months?
He will be on a roster next season for sure
However , if you want out simply make a mutual trade and call it a day
WTF is this grievance and secrecy BS all year ? Maybe one day we get the real answers
He fcked Peg big time this year , cost them a playoff spot and handcuffed Chevy to make a move
Why lose a years salary during this dispute ?
Plenty of teams that could of absorbed his 1 year cap hit and he gets paid
Peg could of got back a pick or even a roster player for this year

Maybe he needed a break.
Maybe his heart was not in it this season as he was reaching his mid-30s.
Maybe his body was run down and he felt he needed to take a year off.
Maybe he did not know what he wanted to do moving forward.
Maybe his mindset and thought process right now are not at the same as when he chose not to report to training camp.
Maybe his plans have changed.
Maybe he wants to go back and play hockey for a year or two and maybe he wants it to feel different.
Maybe a different system of play, different teammates, an exciting challenge or a better chance to get another cup Stanley Cup.

Like I said, trades limit where he can go. Lets say he want to go to Tampa, Tampa says sure, but we will only give up a 7th round pick to take on that salary.
Winnipeg obviously says no to that.
Instead they mutually go their seperate ways, he approaches Tampa, they sign him, simple.
He is rich, rich enough to say fuck that, I'm not playing in Winnipeg, screw the money.
This boils down to the man not wanting to play in Winnipeg, whether that be for the weather or a personal grudge, but once you boil it down to him refusing to play for them/live there everything about the situation makes perfect sense.
Some things matter more than money.
Sure , but Peg could of told TB ..... your capped out
We eat 2/3 and you give us a pick and prospect and gun for your cup
Peg was held hostage all year ..... its a fcken joke Altair
They can sign him in the summer , total BS

Of course Peg could have said that. Peg could have said a bunch of things.
Big Buff cut peg out of the equation, and I'm not going to fault the man for that. Peg could have bought him out too if they really cared to not be held hostage.
In this league teams hold young players hostage until their mid to late twenties, and nobody has an issue with it. Mitch Marner had zero leverage versus the leafs and we all knew that he had to sign eventually or just not play. And everyone was okay with that.
So I don't really care if players who have served their dues decide that they just aren't going to play where they don't want to play. If the team is held hostage, buy out the player or suspend them, but don't play the victim.
Why the FK would a team who is paying your salary buy him out when the prick doesn't go to camp?
Buyouts are when the team gives up on you and you part ways when you are finished and stink
So Price decides not to show up in October and leaves the Habs in limbo .
We cant make a move cause you don't know if the prick is coming back but his 10.5 mil cap is still on your books while your suspend
him and its in grievance with no resolution for 6 months
Buff should of been suspended and mutually be let go from day 1 so Peg can use the cap for an option
Their season is toast cause this asshole killed their playoff hopes .
Team lost millions in playoff revenue
Marner had no contract , Buff was locked up
