Stan Bowman: "I do not condone or tolerate harassment or assault of any type. The Blackhawks have engaged an outside legal firm to conduct an investigation...for now, I have to respect the litigation and pending review. I'm not going to be able to make any comments about that."

Considering he was in the room and likely the one directing them to not go to the police, that's pretty much condoning it.

We'll wait for the investigation to complete, but the NHL should be conducting their own investigation to determine whether those guys who enabled this entire thing to happen should even be in the league.

I hate Manfred in baseball for being soft, but he would have already done something.

Well if this doesn't pump the boys up then nothing will! Put er there, Dubie! My kinda guy! Toronto, Ontario you kids out there... never keep aging grinders around too long...atta boy Dubie! 👍

Find the next one that's at a reasonable cost.

Dont pay 40M for one

from last blog comments.





who cares a bout a side business. hell, a lot people have two jobs or investment that are make coin for the individuals.
Sorry wedgie, you make too much $$ with your TFSA so we're not going to give you a raise.

what does this have to do with his main paycheck which he is chasing. 3.5 mil is why he leaving.
- dmnted

Yup.
I dont know why anyone thinks a player would take less simply because they may make money elsewhere.
It doesnt make sense.

They all knew about it. Bowman. Quenneville. Bergevin. But they hoped to sweep it under the rug and it would magically go away.

Some will if to means its best for them or their family.

Plenty of players have turned down more money.

I wouldn't say you're wrong... But none of us have 20 million a year in our TFSA.

How 'rich' does one need to be?

Everyone has different priorities. Playing near family, playing in a desirable location, childhood PJ's... Whatever it is.

Hymans is apparently money. 🤷🏻‍♂️
- joel878

We dont know that.
Nor do we really know how much he makes on the side.
maybe he fines Edmonton has desirable.

So what if the Leafs were to eat a signing bonus for Year 1, how much compensation would you expect and would TO be willing to eat it?

Also Seravalli, Oilers could be a darkhorse in on Dougie. Sounds very Ek to me

Whats best for their family is not all what is being discussed.
People thought he would take less because he makes money on the side. Kind of foolish.

Plus we dont know whats best for Hymans family.

I hope Hamilton signs in Edmonton. Decent off season for the oilers.

Now this is the type of creative sh!t I want to see.

Stan Bowman can eat my ass.
- BINGO!

Hope not. For Bingo's sake.

If it doesnt impact the cap...I dont care what the leafs do with their money.
but if it gets us a higher pick, no cap ramifications...do it.

Its not foolish if it matters where his family is.

Also Holland way overpaid anyways, he didnt give him much of a choice. He can fly his family back to Toronto every weekend if he wanted to with all that extra cash he is making.

Better chance of Roger becoming an Isles fan.

They're going to have like 6 million in space after Hyman so... unless they plan on dressing 15 guys every night they can't afford Dougie.

Where his family doesnt have to do with making money on the side. His family will go wherever he does.
Two separate things

After they trade us Leon they could

lol
I know.
But I want to see Mcdavid go deep in the playoffs....so I want Edmonton to get better.

- dmnted

Because his side business is highly dependent on his association with the Maple Leafs.

I'm just saying I wouldn't be surprised if his profits from his eSports business drop by $3.5M or more, now that he's an Edmonton Oiler.

Penny wise, pound foolish.

He will. When he's a Leaf. After his Oilers contract expires.

And I'm also giggling a little, because I was just about to respond to this with a "from last blog comments"

Great minds think alike.

Others never differ.
