<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mondo</b></div><div>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.</div></div>

Well I mean there are a few things here I need to mention:
- the punishments given to NJ and AZ are too harsh
-the 2M fine given to the Hawks is a nothing burger and should be substantially raised to 20M at least and the team should donate a significant amount of cash to a charity of the victim's choice
-I agree Q needs to be fired, and probably Cheveldayoff too
