Why has the window passed for anything criminal? There is no statute of limitations on criminal or civil charges on sexual assault in Canada, if that is what you are referring to.

They were drafted by NHL teams at the time, some even had contracts.

Not talking about legally, statute of limitations type thing, I'm talking about practically whatever conduct was like 5 years now and there are practical human limitations on the collection of evidence to elevate beyond a he said/she said.

A lot of statements were full of lawyer-speak anyways. Saying you didn’t take part in any “wrongdoing” doesn’t mean you weren’t there.

What is this? This isn’t about an offensive joke told years ago

Even if nobody goes to the jail over this, pro sport league CBAs tend to have large catch-all personal conduct policies. See Ja Morant suspension.

Quite the take - so your advice to young players is to make sure they get the sexual assault out of their system before they make the NHL so as not to jeopardize the big $$ contracts?
You realize they committed a crime here ? A pretty horrible one at that. These guys hit the lotto if all they're getting is a suspension and not actual jail time for what they did.
Just so I understand this correctly. U know facts and everything.. and I quote, "The league, In light of the severity of what's ALLEGED , are levelling a penalty they find equally as harsh." Well I guess that's where we are in this day and age . A penalty as harsh, as an alleged incident. Hope I'm wrong..
And before all the pitch forks come out. No I don't agree with rape or sexual assault .NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW ,BUT NO ONE IS BELOW IT EITHER...

Just one question. Did u bother to read the press release? It said an alleged assault ,not a charge and conviction of an assault.

Expecting 20 pages of:

Likewise, I can’t wait for the guys who were proud of hockey Canada’s coverup, the victim blaming and shaming, and let boys be boys crowd come out.

Yeah, I don't think anyone took that stance. That sounds much like people who agreed with "hang them all before we know anything" inventing what the other side is saying.
I’ve heard rumours that the suspensions will be the public punishment but the league is basically telling teams to avoid these players if they can. Some teams don’t want the negative PR or distraction so they are already distancing themselves. I’ve heard rumours that it will be full year suspensions for the players.
LOL oh, they have and they will. You haven’t following this very closely and have some extreme blinders on.
That @GordonGraham guy does it every thread.
There are a few tiers of players from that roster and it will be interesting to see if only the tweener types and depth players get thumbed in this or if the NHL would actually make a player with a bit of real success face the music as well.

I know why one of them is, I won’t say the name incase my source is wrong but like, some decent players that will be punished.
It’ll be a year suspension from the league but the teams are allowed to do more, I think they can technically end the contracts for breach (possibly)? The suspension will be the front facing public suspension but for some the punishment will be getting nothing for contract.
Voight

Sexual assault is no joke but that would set a massive precedent for the league.
Craig MacTavish was allowed to continue playing, then coach, then GM in this league and he literally killed someone.
Complete ban was never going to happen and is a bit much.

These guys should not be procreating if they did what they’re accused of
