Seriously I don't even know what to think of this whole ordeal, it's so *****d up, my Goodness

I hope the player involved found peace, one way or another, after that

I think the Hawks punishment should be;

- Add an 8 million dollar MINIMUM addition to the fine
- Suspend/ Ban parties involved
- Remove 1 first round pick and potentially a cap fine (is that allowed, reducing a teams cap with dead cap)
- CHANGE THE NAME, while you're at it


Their biggest punishment would be having Seth Jones for 9 more years...

A guy said on Twitter that Toews and Kane being on the Covid protocol is to make them unavailable to be questioned about this whole report.

I disagree with this take, for the simple reason that they can be contacted via phone, mail or text, and they can always be asked about it in a few days or weeks, whenever they get out of the protocol

Yes of course, but still, they can be talked to in the near future

And if you wanna go that route, if more infos come out in the next hours or days, they could be in even more hot water than currently

Hell, we’re in Covid times, they could even be contacted via Zoom and a non-verbal language expert could examine their behavior to detects signs of stress (which points to lying/culpability)

I'm curious to see what happens to Jeremy Collitan now that the Hawks have changed their front office. Is he more or less likely to keep his job? Personally, I would replace him immediately. But, I think that's not likely right now. I think the Hawks will look to stay quiet for a while. But, this season is quickly slipping away.

Colliton has nothing to do with the situation. He's just not a good coach.

Unfortunately he’s guaranteed to make the team.

Nah, I don't think today's staff (which, in a large part, arrived after the events of 2010) should pay for something they have nothing to do with. Same goes with the players.

And also their fans shouldn't have to pay for that, cause if you removed them 2 firsts, then let's be honest here the team will suffer for a decade plus, even more so when you consider the Jones trade.


Understand you're point of view from this but I don't necessarily agree - the inaction from the organization should warrant some sort of deterrent punishment. They knew about it, essentially rewarded the guy who did it (Aldrich got full pay after he was let go, got a day with the cup, his name on the cup and a ring, Quenneville essentially gave him a glowing writeup despite knowing what he did), and did nothing about it until they absolutely had to 11 years later. Some rando mocking the guy over the assault 4 years after the fact doesn't paint a great picture of the organization. Honestly I think the problem runs deeper than the handful of executives from that meeting, and those guys stuck around until today.

Also - it should be a matter of setting a standard. The Devils got their 1st sent to the end of the draft for cap circumvention. Arizona lost their 1st because they were illegally scouting players. Don't think either of things are on the magnitude that this is so it'd make sense to reprehend the Blackhawks.

Even if it's just the 2022 or 2023 (whichever one Columbus doesn't receive) would be fine. Locks them out of getting a marquee player.
