I don't think he'll ever be given a IR designation in fantasy sports since he's not injured.

They really like this whole group thing, huh.
Seems weird to me that they would opt for a group trial rather than individual

The sentencing would be separate so it is probably about protecting the victim... so she only has to testify once. Happens all the time in such cases in the UK too. (which ofc is a very similar legal system)

Probably is easier on a victim(which obviously is not the term the court would use before any guilt is established) to have 1 trial to testify at instead of 5 different trials.
Certainly easier on the court system.

Thanks. Somewhere in a Canadian source I read that the victim of an assault could not be cross examined. Her statement could be challenged in court but that the defense attorneys could not grill her on the stand. It looks like that info could be wrong.

There’s some nuance in the criminal code and applications can be made when there’s a minor or vulnerable adult involved, and I know an accused themselves cannot cross examine. But the info I’ve been fed by my lawyer buddy is the defence lawyers will be able to cross examine. I suppose barring a successful application.

I did find it somewhat odd that he was the only one that was seemingly banished from the NHL long before the other 4

NJ extended McLeod & Foote the summer before last year (one year of course). Hart & Dube were already signed in previous years on multi-year deals.
I don’t feel bad for the guy but I do agree with you that it was odd.

From the article, he was extended a qualifying offer by the Sens, then rejected the offer, and the Sens never offered another one, so he signed with Switzerland.

I get that but you don’t really hard ball a 22 year old who just put up 30+ points in his first full season with a QO unless…
I don’t feel bad for the guy nor am I throwing shade at Ottawa but it does smell like they used the situation to try & squeeze him at cheaper price. Like I’m sure he would have played that season if he accepted that QO.

Yeah, that's certainly possible.
Another option is that they extended the QO because they didn't want to lose him for nothing, but knowing he was involved and likely to be charged, had no interest in offering anything of substance above the QO.
