Confirmed Signing with Link: [KHL] Michael McLeod signs one year deal with Kazhakhstan

[Leafs87]

They should be allowed to make a living while awaiting trial… but they probably shouldn‘t be able to travel to countries without an extradition treaty.

Yes once he’s gone, it’ll be hard to get him back for the trial against his will.

What a dumb f***ing comment.

Such an edge lord that one is says I.

They have no chance of ever playing in the NHL, even if they are found not guilty. Why even return? I would just stay and play in the KHL for the foreseeable future.

I’m not sure that’s entirely the case if they’re found not guilty. It would be hard for the NHL to do that. In terms of a team ever offering them a contract, that’s a different story

That‘s what I mean. None of them are really worth the PR hit, except Hart. He‘d probably be the only one to get a contract offer a few years out.

This is pretty much why they shouldn't be allowed to leave Canada before their trial.

 

[Jerzey Devil]

Hopefully he’s found innocent. He was just starting to catch fire when they suspended him. If he’s guilty, however, he can stay in the K.

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

You're a real charming chap aren't you?

I really couldn’t give less of a shit about the player or what he’s involved in lmao. I didn’t realize the case was still a thing or relevant

What a dumb f***ing comment.

Clearly not a big enough of a deal if this is the first time I am hearing about it!

 

[I am Bettman]

Disregarding the off ice stuff, it’s always interesting to see how nhl level talents perform in the KHL. Helps to figure out how strong the KHL really is nowadays compared to the NHL.

If you rape someone, at what point does it stop being relevant? 5, 10 years?

Accussed of sexual assault...... You should just stop talking.

I personally wouldnt want a player involved in an 'alleged' gang rape with 2 charges from said allegation on my team. Just because its not a big deal to you or the average Russian/KHL fan, doesnt mean it isnt.

 

[redbeardtx]

Throw McLeod down the well

...so my country can be free

Sexual offenders aren't really important there apparently

 

[Czechboy]

The McLeod parents are going to have a much harder time going to their kids games.. one in Buffalo and one in Kazakhistan.

 

[Kshahdoo]

True, doesn't mean that it can't happen. Kazakhstan is moving away from Russia politically and socially and seeking closer ties with the west.

Two countries Kazakhstan has the longest borders with are Russia and China. There is no chance they will move from them...

 

[Andre Palot]

That’s still a thing?

welcome back Don Imus

They are in active steps moving away from Russia.

Recently there was some guy from the Netherlands who was a top level football player who was about to get taken down for being a drug kingpin in the world of organized crime who fled to Russia and signed with Spartak Moscow. Unfortunately for him he wasn't very bright and decided to leave the safety of Russia to party in (IIRC) Abu Dhabi where the authorities apprehended him.

There’s also an Olympian from the Netherlands who was convicted and sentenced for raping a kid and he’s currently at the 2024 Olympics representing them.

Another one for the Low Morals League

He's not entitled to a job as a hockey player, there are plenty of other jobs he could do.

 

[habsterr]

He should wear the Borat thong on the beach in Kazakhstan.

On the other hand, if he wants to stay in Russia to avoid any sort of criminal prosecution, then I guess have fun living the rest of his life in Russia with no hope of ever returning to friends and family in Canada.

Never said he was.
