Some of the rumours/innuendo I'd like to see addressed by Sheila Block:
**Iginla and Pronger using back channels to announce NHLPA's intentions to accept a cap with the NHL, undermining Goodenow in the process. If these conversations did take place, were they done with Meehan's and/or Linden's knowledge.
**Linden doing a complete 360, and switching negotiation strategy to include a salary cap and appointing Saskin as lead negotiator, without the full knowledge of the negotiating and/or executive committees and/or player reps.
**Linden signing Saskin to a new contract, without following the provisions of the NHLPA constitution.
**Meehan pulling the strings behind the scenes by using his clients, Linden, Iginla, and Pronger to undermine Goodenow and the NHLPA's negotiating process. Also what influence or conversations Meehan may have had with Linden regarding Saskin's promotion to executive director and contract.
**Whether Goodenow and/or Saskin authorized, participated in, or were aware of the viewing of players' email correspondence, and when.
Meehan certainly is an influential agent, and it will be interesting to see how this plays out. Only time will tell but it sure is an interesting soap opera.
I hope it's all true, and then Meehan is put in place as the head of the NHLPA, for if it were true, it would make it abundantly clear he was looking out for a great deal more of the NHLPA than Goodenow and his cronies ever were.
