might be a story here real soon
I didn't think Lupul was done in the NHL. He may not have been worth his contract anymore, but I think he could have still been an NHL player if healthy.
I really hope the press doesn't make a big fuss of this... Leafs may get severe punishment... forfieting 1st round pick type punishment...
Here's another picture just posted in another thread
It won't. Too many teams likely doing something similar.
Sounds faked from a similar tweet address.
Not a tweet but if Lupul says that in person at a press conference, then maybe, but as it is ... it's nothing more than made up.
So, let's wait for Lupul's press conference. He's 33 with a bad back, his career is finished, and he's getting paid $5,250,000. Doubtful he would slander those paying him.
Imagine being dumb enough to believe that a player was healthy enough to play, wanted to play, but just accepted being told no without seeking immediate legal counsel from his union.
If they let the Pronger situation go but choose to make a big deal of this, it'll make them look beyond bush league.
