Galchenyuk - "How many hookers do I need to throw your way for you to stop asking questions?"
Lekhonen's father told Finnish media that it was unlikely Nichushkin wouldve returned; and, from what I gather, he didn't sound overly surprised.
One can easily deduce who his source was.

Columbo would've had it all figured out long ago. Even Matlock would be closing in by now.
Where have all of our heroes gone?

Finnish media. It's clearly Rantanen.

Does Lehkonen not talk to his son?

But they are too chicken to tell us what they know, probably afraid of what the Avs will do to them. If they could ban Dater for saying the F-word they sure can ban them for revealing uncomfortable stuff.
Remember when Meghan was digging this story? Well her colleagues apparently learned new things so it's safe to assume that she knows that stuff too...yet not a single word about Nuke in weeks.
Every time I check it, still dislike this thread, but it's contained lol.
This is a good thing, I'll admit that.

I mean I get that they don’t want to be cut off from their sources, it’s just if what they are saying is true then I don’t see how it could be rehab. It would take a lot longer than a week to get clean and be back for round two.
I’m just annoyed like everyone else. I don’t need a play by play of what went down but they can’t expect him to just show up to camp in September and no one cares anymore. Dude left after game 2 in the playoffs there damn well better be a good reason for it.

The Avs are going to bury this.
Val will roll up to training camp like nothing happened and then pretend he doesn’t understand English when he’s asked questions about what happened.

I’m guessing the lady ended up with a pile of money for her troubles also. Such is the way of these things. Not saying it’s right, it just is.

This makes 0 sense. DNVR knows that Nuke was this close to coming back but the Avs (per Bednar) can't put a date on his return. If the problem was dealt with the Avs would have told us it was behind him. No reason to make it drag on.

I think even Bednar said that would be great if he came back.(or something to that effect)
But yeah the whole thing is a conflicting ball of hot mess.

As many have stated. There are right ways and wrong ways of handling things.
I don't think a reasonable person who has any interest in the Avalanche as a fan can think this has been handled appropriately, regardless of what has actually happened. By addressing it at all, in the most vague and uncertain terms and not providing any meaningful information they were basically asking people to guess, speculate, rant, rail and jump to conclusions.
As far as I know, they haven't even committed to making a comment when the time is appropriate. But, I admit, I could be wrong on that last bit. Have they offered to provide an explanation in the future, at the appropriate time of course, for why their top RW was told to leave the team shortly into the 2nd round with no apparent physical ailments?

Bednar said he’d be shocked if Val returned for the rest of the playoffs, or something to that extent, but again it’s Bednar so who knows.

Really glad you are enjoying it.
PM or post your thoughts here or in the OT thread. I had to re-start several times because the first few episodes are introducing what becomes a fairly large cast. And they are doing a lot of world building setting up where and how we got to this political cold war between Earth, Mars and the Belters. When dealing with topics like this is where Sci-Fi really shines in my opinion. There's nothing wrong with a Michael Bay blockbuster, but I'm burned out by CGI for now and much prefer something with weight and substance. Those that like the Expanse are all in, I found while those that didn't care for it, mostly jump well before the end of season two. And that's cool, too.

I had a Nuke jersey. threw it away when he let the team down to party with hookers and drugs. but Ill grab it from the bin again if Nuke reveals he is a kpop fan.
I think the word was "unbelievable." Which can mean a bunch of different things, of course

They know nothing if they think he would have been back in the second round.

The only people who know everything is Val and his "date". And she was so zonked even she may not remember everything. Hell, I'll bet McSakic don't know the whole story.
Vals lawyers have without question told the Avs to clam up while Val . . . does whatever he needs to do. I'm sure what happened is very personal and I'm sure its very embarrassing. It also impacts his contract, so yes, his lawyers are involved.
But it's apparently not criminal. And because of that, no, we don't have any "right to know" until Val decides to disclose it. It's no different than any of us doing something really (non criminally) dumb at a work retreat. I'd expect my employer to keep it confidential.
