The most bizarre part of this is that they didn't just fire him on the spot.
What's more distracting, news potentially coming out about your fired video coach, or your pervert video coach harassing your players with dick pic? Makes zero sense. It's just a video coach, and how are players going to respond to his feedback with they know he's a disgusting freak? Just morons who shouldn't be in charge of anything.
DING DING DING DING!!!
We have a winner of the common sense award!
Braindead take after braindead take someone finally says it. This is evidence of a BUSINESS OPS mishandling of the situation, and hockey ops leaving the matter to be handled by them or letting them take a stupid f***ing amount of time to act and perform due diligence.
Does ANYONE remember 2009? When the hockey ops team preceding them couldn't file a f***ing fax to tender free agents and they fired Dale Tallon? And then a particular accountant got a job because of his HOF daddy?
Quick question, does anyone actually think a fresh hockey ops that's incompetent or barely competent to manage it's own roster would be able to take care of what is clear and cut a business operations and HR/Legal matter? Consider also in that climate/age, with the misinformation that would be said in defense when confronted, that a hockey organization and business as well might both be uncomfortable/bewildered with a matter surrounding homosexuality.
Instead of spreading bullshit and calling for fake justice with removal of picks that has false equivalency with matters that relevantly violate the CBA, maybe this should motivate you moral warriors to ask better questions and think or inquire about what actually happened. Crazy thought I know, but we need better information and should demand to know what went down in those meetings and drove the decisions before we assume malice/ignorance in trying to "sweep a sexual assault case under the rug"
And if you aren't willing to do that, you all might be able to have actual discussion and arguments by reading the report or the CBA if you want to talk about draft pick removal. f***ing hell.
