Pathetic NHL, keep the good ole boys club together as long as you win a cup and are successful 

Agreed, fvck that sh!t.

We'll see if anyone actually dares to bite.  These guys are only sorry about one thing:  that it all came out.  And now they're probably not even all that sorry about that.

Bowman will probably get the Oilers job like tomorrow

This league can't get out of its own way. Do not have words, honestly. I hope fans never let these guys forget what they did wherever they end up.

Also to let this out today + hope it is buried amongst the free-agent/trade/extension news shows how they truly feel about it (i.e. "Is this the right thing to do? Nope but it sure is the easy thing to do")

A question to those who will know better - this is essentially the league conducting an internal review (of senior team staff it has worked closely with) + concluding that there isn't insurmountable demonstrable evidence so let's look the other way?

If so, I'm guessing that even the thought of some kind of independent regulator who could step in - and say something to the tune of "there may not be criminal charges but this stinks to high heaven so we think it's best to part ways with these fellas" - would be seen as the devil incarnate?

The Oilers got Henrique to take a sweetheart deal so he can chase a Cup. 

They must have really sweet-talked Janmark too. 1.45 AAV to be a 3rd line center. Phew. 

EDM GM must have been giving out complimentary handjobs to get them to resign for those numbers and not test FA. 

EDIT: Who am I kidding, they would hire a specialist for that.

Why is it so hard to just let people like this twist in the wind forever? Save the second chances for people who deserve them.   

I just realized that in a few years, the world juniors guys (Hart, McLeod, Foote, the other one who I can’t think of) will probably be welcomed back into the league and everyone will talk about how much they overcame to return to the sport as if they were the victims of that situation.

I hope whoever picks him up never wins a game again

If I were a player and I had any sense of morality, I would refuse to play for him

Jesus H, have some people reached the point where they can't recognize that no matter how good someone once was at their job, that there are certain incidents bad enough that NO, that fvcking guy DOESN'T deserve a second chance?!

Q should never hold another job in the NHL again.  Even if eligible to get one.  Because common fvcking sense should dictate as such, but hey, if that guy can somehow help us win...

I don't get this move.

This is a Holtz for Cotter, but taken to 11. Savoie hasn't even played an NHL game yet and was ready to break in this next year. 

Other than simple roster space and EDM saving on the cap, this move makes no sense for Buffalo. I can't believe that they have so many prospects that they couldn't figure out a way to keep Savoie.

Other possibility is that Savoie asked for a trade, but this is a weird one. Ryan McLeod is so meh it hurts and this Tullio guy....Buffalo have better have done their scouting on this player that he's a solid defensive forward who will actually add something to their main roster. I know I haven't.

It’s becoming par for the course for Buffalo at this point. countless stupid moves for a team that is constantly allegedly ready to take the next step and be kinda relevant again.

that organization, lead by their owners, cannot get out of their own way.
