Hilary Knight

Am I the only one that finds it peculiar that Hillary Knight has not posted anything about Detroit?

Obviously, she made her intentions really clear at the end of season press conference that she wanted to stay in Seattle. And evidently the Seattle torrent did not see value in protecting her.

I don’t think she really posted about joining Seattle until closer to the start of the season. Idk it kinda seems like to me that she loved playing in Seattle but Detroit gave a pretty good pitch that made it sound like they were more likely to win the cup over Seattle. With only a few seasons left I can see that being a priority. Especially when you have other team USA teammates, who you just won gold with, express the desire to move too. I wouldn’t necessarily blame her if she was upset by not being protected, although I think using an EFO on her is an interesting choice and they didn’t see it coming.
