Dan Hamhuis says that commissioner Gary Bettman 'seems to be on some hidden agenda' with regards to the staring contest the Players' Assocation and the owners find themselves in.

Hamhuis expressed his frustration to The Province's Ben Kuzma, thoroughly disappointed at the unwillingness from the owners to negotiate and believes, like many others, that the owners have a Dec. 1 date in mind for for when to reach an agreement. "When they offered 50-50, we figured it would be one of three things: It was pressure from other owners to put an offer out, an actual legitimate chance of negotiating or just Gary and he's got a date in his head when everything comes back together," Hamhuis said. "He seems to be on some hidden agenda and a day they [owners] can't go past. If that's what it is and we keep conceding, it only makes sense for us to hold out." Hamhuis thinks the owners have to be the next to budge.

Dan Hamhuis is satisfied with the $2,500 fine Colorado forward Chuck Kobasew received Monday for his trip on the Canuck defenceman on Saturday.

The incident occurred at 13:20 of the second period when Kobasew tripped Hamhuis as he touched the puck on an icing call. "Fortunately, I didn't get hurt," Hamhuis said. "His stick definitely knocked my one skate out and I was able to catch it. But it's a dangerous play that we have talked about as players in the summer. In those tight races and close situations it's great to try to get an icing or negate an icing, but the risk of injury is so high, it is such a dangerous play, that as a forward you'd hope that maybe you could keep your stick as far away as you can from a D-man's feet. "Maybe with the fine they are just trying to reiterate that and make guys aware."

Dan Hamhuis scored his third goal of the season in the Cancucks 3-1 loss to the Calgary Flames.

Hamhuis is a moderate option as a fantasy blueliner. He's on pace for 40 points, and he has a great +/- with a +12. He has seven power play points, which is solid, but his value would get a boost if he got more time and someone like Sami Salo took a back seat. If he's your third or fourth defenseman, then you're looking good, but if he's higher then you should make a trade for a better blueliner.
