Contract Termination: [ARI] F Adam Ruzicka contract terminated by the Coyotes

[SensontheRush]

Anyone lining up for his services?

 

[sansabri]

this is hilarious

 

[BKarchitect]

Let’s be real, he was probably heading to Europe next year anyways.

 

[Warden of the North]

To anyone like myself wondering what he did:

Holy shit. What a colossal moron.

 

[Bond]

Holy shit. What a colossal moron.

If only he was as valuable as Stoll and Kuznetzov

 

[User1996]

I remember just a couple weeks ago when some Flames fans were crying about him even being put on waivers, now he’s headed back to Europe.

 

[hamzarocks]

I thought that video had him smoking weed which is legal in CAN and a fair amount of US states

Was confused about the outrage since its common and a growing industry in CAN lol

Saw the white powder on my 2nd look at the video

I wonder if we ever reach the point where cocaine can be made available on public markets by government regulated entities.

Its a shit show for your health

I mean, there's other ways not to play for the Yotes.

 

[willy702]

This is fully a "play stupid games, win stupid prizes" situation, but you know that if Ruszicka was actually good, the Coyotes would be looking past this.

So true. Just wait until some kid playing around on his computer does a deep fake with McJesus appearing to do some blow and puts it out there. Would the Oil terminate his contract? Ummmm...probably not

 

[Czechboy]

That was so stupid that I can't even defend it and I always defend Czechs and slovaks.lmao. See you in the extraliaga dumbass

 

[Grigowski]

Early frontrunner for the "Idiot of the year" - Award......

 

[Mike Jones]

Let’s be real, he was probably heading to Europe next year anyways.

Judging by the video he may not make it.

 

[Oscar The Grouch]

On what basis can they terminate his contract?

Are they speculating about what that white powder might be? I thought we can't speculate?

To me it seems more appropriate that he would end up in the Player Assistance Program than have his contract terminated. NHLPA should appeal.

Ruzicka may have just been making an inappropriate joke

 

[PettersonHughes]

Oof, wonder what happened

 

[Byron Bitz]

Yeah from my understanding of the CBA they can’t terminate his contract over that

 

[Mobiandi]

Welcome back to Calgary !

 

[TheFinalWord]

So true. Just wait until some kid playing around on his computer does a deep fake with McJesus appearing to do some blow and puts it out there. Would the Oil terminate his contract? Ummmm...probably not

A person could put a deepfake up with McDavid running a Mexican cartel and his contract wouldn't be terminated. By any team.

 

[HarrySPlinkett]

Cocaine is a helluva drug.

I’ve heard, anyway.

 

[KaraLupin]

That was just sugar, justice for Adam

I wonder if the actual act of using drugs alone would simply have been an issue for the player assistance program - but the act of making and sharing a video glorifying drug use goes beyond the bounds of punishment for substance use and into contract violation as conduct detrimental to the club and league.

Like the issue isn’t the drugs themselves which could be a player assistance issue, so much as the glorifying video which was a conscious public decision to make an embarrassing spectacle.

It really does snow in Arizona ...

 

[Czechboy]

Mental note: Tune back in here tomorrow. The Puns are extraordinary!

 

[Gregor Samsa]

It wasn’t even like he inadvertently posted it pic with it in the background. Dumbass isn’t a strong enough word
