Imagine getting paid 800,000 a year and not turning up to work in shape. Considering what happened at camp last summer he hasn't really got a leg to stand on.

What happened last year at camp?
Makes me sad. Was my favorite defenseman before Cernak was brought on board. I can't really comment without knowing the details, just sad
Looks like Cernak will take that spot though now, right?
Or maybe we go back to 14-7. Even so, does Koekkoek even have an edge over Cernak now? Seems like Cernak's style is more in line with what Coop would want in a #7.
I think you're right Macho. My mind immediately went there. No one is immune from the disease of addiction. I think it could adequately explain why his play fell off so dramatically as well as why he was suspended by the team last year. You would know better of the language of a "material breach" but I have to wonder if failing to comply with rehab and relapsing would qualify.
Tampa doesn't give you any information about anything. We don't now what this is about nor why he missed the regular season last time.Is there any evidence or published report about alleged addiction or a rehab stint? What was he suspended for last year?
Thanks in advance.
Not just Tampa. The league substance abuse policy requires complete privacy, as it should. On that note, based on that same policy, it's very unlikely that this is substance abuse related.Tampa doesn't give you any information about anything.

None, it was just my first guess because he was first suspended and then played horribly so addiction seemed to fit the billIs there any evidence or published report about alleged addiction or a rehab stint? What was he suspended for last year?

It is possible to terminate a contract through the substance abuse policy but there's a ton of behind the scenes shit that happens first and it really doesn't seem like that's what's going on here. It's not impossible but if any player does make it through every tier of the program without making the necessary changes in their life then they have a lot more to be concerned about than just their career. Which isn't to say that someone with a substance abuse problem couldn't get in trouble for coming to camp massively out of shape but the punishment would be for the conditioning aspect, not the underlying substance abuse issue as long as they're properly participating in the program.True. I think the PA stepped in to keep us from terminating Ryan Malone's contract.
That's a shitty assumption to make.None, it was just my first guess because he was first suspended and then played horribly so addiction seemed to fit the bill
As opposed to what? We live on a relationship of total blackout with the Lightning. Dude was straight ban hammered all preseason last year without warning and nearly everyone thought he must've messed up bad somehow. He barely played and didn't play well. When more and more athletes over the years come forward about their demons, a player like Dotchin does not seem immune.That's a ****ty assumption to make.
