<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DragonRaptorHybrid</b></div><div>a rather interesting point that Shannon (The Hockey Guy) pointed out in a video: this is all of the fallout with regards to the higher-ups, but <em>what about the players that were involved?</em> without being unnecessarily detailed about graphic content, there were players that taunted the victim for having been victimized. when do those names come out, and <em>which names come out?</em> will the John Doe that brought the lawsuit choose to identify himself and name names if all of the other players choose to deny and deflect?</div></div>
This is something I’ve been wondering as well, but I’m not sure it’ll happen. After all, the executives were responsible for protecting their player, reporting to the police, investigating/firing, etc. none of which happened. The players were “just” being assholes, not technically doing anything illegal, just morally wrong afaik. Unless it’s like, defamation? If toxic masculinity in hockey culture is gonna rear its nasty head and protect people who don’t deserve it, I think this is the point where it’ll start. It’ll get brushed off as regular insults/motivation or some bs. This objectively stupid culture may protect the likes of Chevy and Q as well but I really hope not, and I think following this report the league can’t afford to allow them to stay to protect their image, but in classic NHL fashion will then consider their work done. No I’m not cynical, you’re cynical 😤😤😤

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BuFfaLOFaN</b></div><div>Yea, their team is rolling. If they decide to sell at the TDL they are going to get a pretty price for their players. Especially Gaudreau who has 8 assists. The Sabres and Flames could definitely be good trade partners. Jesse on the SDPN podcast had a crazy trade idea...he was thinking Lindholm and Tkachuk for Eichel, so the sabres get the contract uncertainty and flames get injury uncertainty...</div></div>
That was an NHL22 trade lol, the Flames aren't trading one of those guys, let alone both. And we're not selling at the TDL unless we suddenly lose 90% of games between now and then, bringing in Tanev, Markstrom, Coleman, and Sutter are all-in moves, not rebuild moves.

edit: also contract uncertainty lol, lindholm is on one of the best contracts in the league and tkachuk is an rfa

Jake Sanderson has 7pts in 6 games while leading his team in almost every stat. Those numbers are a small sample size but so far on par with the numbers Makar was at in his sophomore year while being 8 months younger than what Makar was. That’s a guy known for his defence but he’s improved his offence. The drop off between Chabot-Zub and our 2nd pairing has been massive. Once Sanderson arrives, the dynamic will change so quick. This team will be insane</div></div>
The only thing I’m worried about is throwing him on the 2nd pair immediately with Zaitsev. Forcing him to drag dead weight around while facing the 2nd toughest matchups in the NHL might stall his development, which would suck. He looks like he’ll be a stud for a long time though for sure. And if he develops enough offense to run PP2 then Brannstrom becomes more expendable in trades for improvements elsewhere.
