Wow I guess I did not realize that MM was the one who called his teammates in... Truly fvcking despicable.

Even if he's found criminally innocent, I don't want him back on this team.

It sure looks like he is but it isn't officially confirmed yet but yeah this guy ain't coming back here.

So the players will be paid this year... Bettman confirmed they will not be suspended without pay.

Does Cal Foote benefit since he was on a two-way deal, and was called up prior to the leave?  He was singed to a two way-deal, $350 AHL, $800k NHL deal?    If anything it helps with legal fees.

That means he texted everyone to the room right? 

Yeah.  Robyn Doolittle clarified that the extra charge meant something along the lines that he both "facilitated and participated."  Unfortunately based on the charges, it sounds like McLeod was the ringleader.

This would be an interesting decision if the Winter Olympics were this year given that Makar was on the 2018 roster.  

I mean they all just kicked Russia and Belarus out because of things those players have no control over so it's not surprising. Canada really should have a ban for awhile because of their actions in covering this up too.

Thats good news, not sure what Fitz can do with that little boost though but at least he isn't dragging our cap down. Still gonna be rough to replace a shutdown center with F/O skills at this stage.


In Fitz's defense, he has already brought in Lazar around a year ago and it seems like he's a perfectly serviceable 4C once we get healthy and everyone is slotted in to their spots such as Haula and Palat bumped down to the 3rd line and Holtz moved up. You get another center who is better at F/O at the deadline and you can move him to wing.

McLeod's girlfriend posted this and some got up in arms about it. I don't have any issues with them going on vacation but I would have had a curated friends and family only list with what's going on in their lives right now. She apparently realized that too because she deleted it and went private...

I thought they weren’t allowed to leave Canada; WTF is this a$$hole doing in what looks like a tropical setting? 

I remember reading a tweet that none of them had to surrender their passports because they're not a flight risk.

It was an option to take their passports, I THINK the LPD/prosecution did not invoke that on them

Talk about tone deaf. 

Seriously.  Who takes a vacation while facing criminal charges and then posts about it (or lets their girlfriend do so)?  I guess when you’re a remorseless predator, you don’t care about your behavior.

Dude is facing 14 years. He needs to get it in while he can. It's just stupid to post online about it.

That’s fair.  I just think whatever McLeod’s doing with his time while awaiting trial, he should keep his head down.

Yeah allowing his girlfriend to post that isn’t a great look…just lay low.

Hard to think that he and his teammates and their lawyers aren’t going to try to paint the victim as being a willing participant in what happened.  McLeod probably fully believes that he nor any players involved aren’t guilty of anything at all, sad as that is.
