Around The NHL #13

Between this and the Pride tape and a bunch of other issues lately, it’s difficult to keep confidence in Uncle Gary despite so many years as a staunch supporter.

Uncle Gary is doing just fine. The buck stops with him, but I would bet someone else was taking care of this Pride bullshit.

Not a good look to be walking a guy through a nearly $1 billion team sale and not even mention to him that there are 2 investigations ongoing that will have an effect on his new purchase. And that Owner said as much publicly today.

Now I'm finding THAT a bit skeptical.

Then I have to question his abliity to due his due diligence.... If I'm trading in Fort Knox for a hockey team I'm not going to rely just on the seller to tell me everything I should know.

Who should he ask? The 3rd tweet clearly says he was not informed by NHL....which was my assertion.

That's what I recall. I was listening to 32 Thoughts yesterday and Elliotte was saying the league would go easy on Ottawa because of new ownership. Why did Meruelo get a hammer to the head when he was unaware of Chayka's behavior?

Well, the new owner of hte Sens is unimpressed. he wonders why nothing was disclosed that the team and a player on the team were under investigation while he was exploring purchasing the team.

Cant blame him.

Being he was a part owner of another NHL franchise he should have already been aware of the investigation and could have asked the NHL directly what the potential outcomes of their investgation could be.

My assertion is he could have looked deeper into it himself and realized the possibility of the outcome he got.

The league did give him a choice of which year he could lose the 1st round pick. So the league was acting sympathic towards him being the new owner.

So no one other than NHL??? The same group he has publicly accused of not informing him of the investigations? Back where we started I guess. Don't you think it should have been part of NHL's discovery to potential Owner to disclose ongoing investigation? Because Andlauer sure did.

I don't follow the Sen's so I don't really know what happen before, during and after the sale. I don't see how something like that could be overlooked when doing due diligence when buying a business of this magnitude. I would think the NHL stays out of the sale process until they have agreed upon a price. It's the Sen's I would think should divulge such information. Maybe Dorian held back this information and that is why he is fired.

When you have to approve the buyer I don't think you get to just play dumb on disclosure. And neither does NHL Partner Andlauer

Could very well be the Sens misled the league during the investigation from what I’ve seen lately.

NHL doesn’t like being lied to.

Why isn’t the list of no trade teams stapled to the contract?

When he was traded to a team on that list, why didn’t his agent speak up?

Easier again why isn't it registered at central registry with the contract. When you make trade call the League takes one looks and says no. His Agent did speak up, the trade was voided.

It should have been mentioned, but by who is the question. The NHL does not own the franchise so I would think they have no obligation to be involved until it comes to vet the buyer. Legally, their hands may have been tied. Who knows and I really don't care.

I think you previously owned a Franchise. Imagine after doing the transaction with the Master Franchisor you get the news that there is a litigation that they have known about for months yet failed to disclose to you. Now further that and get tge news it's actually them that is about to pass a judgement down to you despite not mentioning it while approval was being granted. Hello Court

Hello due diligence. I think all parties are to blame here, but again, we are looking from the outside in.

How can you do due diligence when the only people who have the answer don't tell you? Just stop and think for a second, the League had 2 investigations going on and according to Andlauer he was not informed of either. Does it sound like Andlauer or the NHL are in the wrong in that scenario? There's no all parties are to blame here

Well, if you knew the Senators had two investigations going on, so should Andlaure. Buyer beware. I'm sure Andlauer will be just fine.

Jesus stupid Christ no one knew the Pinto and Dadanov crap was going on until the judgements were rendered.
 
I think it's shitty that the new owner wasn't notified when he was in the process of buying the team. How could he have known without the team or the NHL telling him?

Another NHL cover-up story. Syre seems like the NHL & Ottawa were mostly concerned with protecting franchise values and getting the deal done.

Edit: From what I know, this wasn't even picked up on by the media until it was all over and done with, so I think to blame it on not enough due diligence isn't exactly a fair assessment. No matter how much digging you do, there's always going to be things you won't find out if someone doesn't want you to.
