That same IF was used by Lebrun in the article.Bettman was doing a presser he was asked about this by Custance and Bettman mentioned “IF” as it pertained to the Coyotes receiving any punishment at all.
It's the media. Fake news.
Dreger is not usually off the mark so this could be concerning.
Crap, the tweet said it was accessable in the US?? The testing was stretching and stuff , some of which was recorded. Talk of between 40 and 80 players. Teams have been calling the League as the advantage now is even greater. Bettman will hold a hearing. Suspects penalty if guilty to be financial, loss of consideration for events, draft picks, and possible Management changes. Does not think this is going away.Can't access that in the US. Cliff's notes?
If a draft eligible player bends down to tie his shoe in front of a coyote scout does that classify as a performance test?Flexibility and balance tests, no weight room stuff.
I think we are both smart enough to know that isn't what is be alleged here.If a draft eligible player bends down to tie his shoe in front of a coyote scout does that classify as a performance test?
I’d love to hear the allegations. Darren Dreger’s constant “GM’s are very concerned about physical testing” rhetoric schtic is getting ridiculous. This has gone from physical testing in a gym to stretching. Stretching. I had visions of a v90 windgate and now I’m finding out that all they have done is stretched. Wow. Call me underwhelmed.I think we are both smart enough to know that isn't what is be alleged here.
I don't recall ever hearing of testing in a gym being mentioned?? This is the first time I have heard anything specific.I’d love to hear the allegations.

the whole reason the chl teams were upset in The first place is they were concerned that their players were being physically overworked. From stretching......
What’s next. Did they play tiddlywinks?
I’m honestly underwhelmed by this report. It’s getting to be ridiculous.
So now that draft eligible players are done with their seasons because of an emergency situation, other teams seem to think they have a stronger case against the Coyotes? I know this is going to be much more so in the realm of lawyers so I think we can rely on an actual standard of objectivity here, but I also know in their own product on the ice, objectivity is thrown out the window when it comes to refereeing, so I'm not sure what to expect.Crap, the tweet said it was accessable in the US??

Dreger, I'm sure, is more than happy to keep a story going, especially considering there are no stories going right now. Note that he offers up just about every possibility for what the punishment could be were there to be a guilty verdict, meaning he is actually just throwing everything out there because he doesn't know, and he conveniently skitters past posting any insight onto which way Bettman could be swinging. Just assume it's going to happen and let's dwell on the possible punishments as that's what people want to hear about.
Furthermore, imagine using the excuse that your entire scouting staff was outdone by the Coyotes because they had that insane advantage of knowing which players could touch their toes.
I know it was a joke but in Kessel's Leaf days he consistently ranked at the top of the Team when testing was done. No idea how he does these days but there arent exactly a ton of specimens on the Coyotes!!!These charges are obviously bogus. Any team that would put Kessel on their roster isn't concerned with fitness.

That doesn't look like the testing?? He barely exercises, looks like a 40 year old Dad but tests better than everyone.
He's already finished ahead of all others and is on warm down. Duh.That doesn't look like the testing?? He barely exercises, looks like a 40 year old Dad but tests better than everyone.
