Could this have planets?

Well not planets, but my question is more general - could a star moving this quickly have a planetary system - obviously this one would not if it got shot out of a supernova.

Anything it passed that had a delta-v of less than the escape velocity of the white dwarf will get hoovered up.

But most of what it passed would just scatter like bowling pins.
