“I think he (Hedrickson) should be happy with certain rates that perhaps he doesn’t think he would be happy,” said Blackburn on Tuesday. “I think it is partly on him to be happy at a certain point, and if he is not, you know, this is what he holds him at times. So, you know, it takes to say yes to something. And, too, we have all the respect of the world for him. It was a great player. We are happy to have him. And so perhaps we will find a way to make something to work. Let’s see where it goes.”
Despite the last round of events, Handrickson said that the “communication line” remains open on his part.
“They are more than welcome to call me,” Handrickson said. “I had my cell phone, the same mobile number from high school. The open communication line is always open with me and my agent. So if they have something they would like to discuss, we are nothing more than willing to listen.”

“We have no desire to be more paid or, you know, first in line,” he said. “I am not going to enter all the details, but, as, there are things that I am willing to do and I have not to move. I don’t think I want to play for incentives that will be out of my control. I don’t think I want to play (on a) short -term contract. … I would like to tell my wife, that’s where we go to live here where we are building a family together. ‘You know?”
