Confirmed with Link: Coyotes forfeit 2020 2nd round pick and a 2021 1st round pick for violating league’s combine testing

[Jamieh]

BTW still hilarious when idiots claim the NHL does anything to rig things in the Yote's favor. They don't make a damn thing easier for this team to actually be competitive.

They never go easy on cheaters.

 

[rt]

Can the team file a lawsuit against Chayka personally?

 

[Neighborhood Coyote]

Someone remind me - do we not also lose our 2021 1st if we resign Hall? And if so, does that mean we lose our 2022 1st to comply with this penalty?

Only would have been a first if we also won a playoff round I believe. So I think that's in the clear?

 

[XX]

- Guy responsible for the violations is gone
- Team admitted fault
- League agrees it was just negligence

"Here's the harshest 2 year punishment we can think of"

Speechless. Thanks, Johnny Genius

 

[Mosby]

Maybe we can eventually get it reversed/lessened like NJ did with Kovy.

 

[moosemeister]

This makes it very unappealing to any potential GM to take this job now lol

 

[_Del_]

They have to fire Sullivan, Hofford and Goldberg at this point, right? Right?

Unless there is a clear chain of evidence with them saying "this is a terrible idea", I'd think they are all on the hot seat.

 

[XX]

Meruelo should be pissed at the league.

They could have taken the 2nd and the Coyotes would have none in the first 90 of the draft where the violation occurred, essentially righting the wrong.

That 2021 1st might f*** them for 5+ years.

 

[GiveAFlyingPuck]

I guess 2026-27 will be the year we shoot for making the playoffs now.

We sure as shit won't win, now.

This makes it very unappealing to any potential GM to take this job now lol

"Well, we suck, we're at the cap, and we have no draft picks... But enough about that, how soon can you start? "

 

[Tom Brady]

Hopefully Hallsy doesn't re-sign there.

 

[moosemeister]

Hopefully Hallsy doesn't re-sign there.

We don’t want him to

 

[KG]

Unbelievable.

the 2021 hurts

 

[Mosby]

God I hope NJ hasn't signed the papers yet and John has to go back to managing a Wendy's.

 

[rt]

Did they have to announce this right before we hire a GM? This could potentially affect the list of willing candidates.

I guess they wanted to rig the game for Chiarelli to get the job. They’ll have to fire Sullivan if he was involved. And no one else will want the job.

 

[_Del_]

f***ing weasel bailed at the worst time possible to create a distraction. And skates free with his phone off where he doesn't have to answer for anything. Probably still smirking, that f***.

 

[rt]

CONFIRMED: The Coyotes are Guaranteed to Win the 2021 Entry Draft Lottery.

 

[XX]

Pretty incredible that we've gone basically 8 months without hearing what actually happened in any amount of detail

 

[moosemeister]

Add to this that Chiarelli is likely coming here makes things much worse.

they’ll announce next that Kessel is actually six months pregnant.

 

[Mosby]

This would be much more fun if Chayka was still employed so we could fire him. But he gets to slink away.

 

[Jakey53]

f*** you, Chayka.

Wow. What the hell did he do exactly. I bet Cohen was involved big time. What a bunch of two bit arrogant think they are smarter than anyone else punks. Meruelo better thank his lucky stars the punk Chayka is gone. This has to be the worst case scenario that could have happened.

 

[Jamieh]

Jesus that's bleak.

 

[KG]

This is just bad- I feel like we’ve lost the rebuild completely and have to spend years watching Kennedy, arcabello, and the other AHL warm bodies again

 

[hbk]

This would be much more fun if Chayka was still employed so we could fire him. But he gets to slink away.

He gets to get a promotion, a big raise, and he has all the data that he collected illegally which his new franchise benefits from.

worked out great for him.

If I’m Murelo I’m not playing nice on the contract clause. Injunction city.
