Arizona Coyotes: Violate NHL Combine rules. Team loses 1st and 2nd round pick.

Ottawa Senators: Botch an NTC. Team loses 1st round pick.

Chicago Blackhawks: Sexual abuse scandal resulting in national headlines and heads rolling around the league and a house-cleaning in Chicago. Team keeps #1 pick and drafts generational talent.

:downsbravo:, NHL.

The league hiding the seriousness of the Dadonov investigation during the sale process to Andlauer is pretty ironic as well

Hope he sues the league/the Melnyk sisters

Not sure the league is really responsible for that. That seems like something the Senators themselves should be divulging to the prospective owners, not the NHL.

The Beach investigation was in 2021 so even if they had taken a pick, it wouldn't have affected the Bedard draft.

It would have if they had taken 3-4 first round picks to ensure that type of poo poo stops right the gently caress now.

They both could be liable. The sisters should have/could have disclosed it as part of you know disclosures in a major purchase and acquisition. They could be on the hook for compensation. Additionally, the league has to ratify, approve, and also does whatever approval process so they have sooooo not out of question that the league would/should have made that disclosure as well.

Yes but the team should have been completely dismantled and moved to Fort MacMurray as punishment.

Andlauer said he was aware of the Dadonov situation but said it was downplayed by the team. Not sure what the NHL is supposed to do there.

With Pinto, it really depends on when that situation/investigation even started.

It actually does because it's saving management from themselves... they were going to sign Hanifin to something absurd like $7.5 a season for 8 years and were actively working on Lindholm and they've walked back from contract extensions now.

I mean when a team with as much historical success as this group starts the season 2-7-1 you gotta work as hard as possible to keep that group together. :ughh:

Last night was a perfect loss, rookie debut for Zary and he scores, team plays actually somewhat interesting hockey for most of the first period, shits the bed completely in the second and then play a pretty good third period.

Jonathan Huberdeau has 1 secondary assist in his last 6 games and was benched in the final minute of the game down by 1 for the aforementioned rookie who was making his NHL debut because Connor loving Zary was playing about a billion times better than Huberdeau.

Players that look great in Florida almost routinely suck anywhere else and nobody knows why.

Best guess is that the Panthers play on some kind of cursed pavel bureial ground.

His big pre-trade year was obviously not repeatable, and a lot of the evaluation of him after the fact stems from him being compared to Matt Tkachuk which does him no favours. He's also an all-offense guy that needs open space and a run and gun system to be effective and Calgary doesn't have the personnel or coaching to take advantage of his strengths. Doesn't help that the age 30 wall appears to have hit him harder than other top-end guys.

Similarly, Kadri was signed after a career year at age 30 that he would obviously never repeat, and moving to a worse team only magnifies his regression and age drop-off.

They also gave him the Gaudreau contract and apparently expect him to carry the puck like Gaudreau instead of distributing the puck like some guy who supposedly had 85 assists in season once.

But he also iced the puck on the powerplay last night so who the gently caress knows...

The Blue Jackets received a first-round pick (No. 12) and a second-round selection (No. 44) in the 2021 NHL Draft, and a first-round pick in the 2022 or 2023 NHL Draft for the defenseman.

If Chicago's first-round pick in 2022 is one of the top two selections, the Blue Jackets will receive the Blackhawks' first-round pick in 2023.

Columbus gets one pick, the league rescinds the other.

Funny how now his job is in serious jeopardy he remembers he has the option of scratching his favorite shambling corpses.

Only trouble is, Vinnie Hinostroza isn't really any better.
