Maybe it’s because the NHL was negligent in corresponding with potential buyers regarding the investigation. All the dirty laundry should’ve been aired to serious biddersApparently you can do a bunch of shit against the rules and then sell the team and the new buyer doesn't have to suffer any of the consequences?
I guess the owner is trying to whine as hard as the fans.

This was after he pushed up the price.
You’re right, maybe he was looking for a budget team.
Maybe he should have waited for the next expansion. He seems pretty upset. I don’t know about him, but if someone came to me and said bidders are dropping out - do you want it? I’d think twice.
So far everything from the purchase process to the team itself has been a gongshow and he seems upset about it.
The caps lock button is on the left. You can turn it off by the way. I know some people aren’t so good with technology.

You cant even keep up with your own circus of thoughts. Time to take a time out.

Guy belongs in the HHOF........For CLOWN builders.
What a joke this guy was. I can't believe he even survived this offseason (or even last) but clearly he was going to be fired after this year. The hiring as Staios as president of hockey ops clearly showed he was no longer in charge or running things. So he was already a lame duck, I think they just didn't wanna fire him a minute after the season started. He was going this offseason anyway, but what transpired today expedited that.

Let’s not act like the NHL doesn’t have liability here. They knew full well disclosing two ongoing investigations would prevent a sale or hinder the top dollar coming forward, therefore hurting value of all franchises. They can’t point fingers at the franchise without taking responsibility

Wow, thank you for the link.
I hope that Friedman will do a follow-up on this or the Sens challenges the call.
If the NHL waited for a new owner, it's bad faith
But he was looked upon so highly???
Has a GM ever directly cost a 1st round pick before like this?

I really don't like the Sens, but this would be so tragic it would almost make me feel bad for them.

Kovalchuk signature with 1st and 3rd round pick loss.

Coyotes forfeit two picks for combine violations
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman stripped the Coyotes of two draft picks, including a first-rounder in 2021, for violating the league's combine testing policy.
There was new information that came out is what I heard. Example could be an email that says they knew but ignored etc.

They do, but so should the NHL since theyre the ones brokering the deal and doing the investigation. They are all over the tranascation themselves, they can't plead ignorance.
All of this stuff kind of just calls into question what is the actual point of having a head office..so they sign off trade calls but don't apparently maintain a list of NTC, that's on the teams to inform each other. Lmao okay. They find prospective buyers and need to approve of any corporate transactions, but don't need to disclose any investigations theyre doing on the team itself, that's on the seller (their current franchisee). Lmao okay.
Like seriously, they are a franchisor. They don't just get to cop themselves out of all liability between their franchisees, otherwise defund them, cut Bettman back to 4M a year, and run a small team for player safety.
NHL looks like it fumbled the bag hard on this, especially that something so simple took 18 months to investigate, which was of course neatly timed to not blow up the sale of the team.
