Nothing can stop John Chayka and his quest to accrue all the numbers

I cant imagine the GM will be in good standing with the Owner of he wants to change Coaching Staff, eat some money to get rid of Vets this summer, and now might get levied some significant fines.

It's all coming unraveled.

Almost need a deep breath moment to evaluate where we are and where we are headed?? Or a win streak.

Multiple teams/players, too. Meruelo will be fuming.

Dreger said that the junior leagues asked their teams to report any contact and some teams said there was (presumably with the Coyotes).

250k per incident.

I actually like this because it shows how proactive they are rather than Don Maloney picking up a central scouting list and going "ahh yes I recognize that name, father was a decent player"

 

[Jamieh]

Not sure if Dreger is correct or if NHL will want a pound of flesh but he suggested $250K per incident.

I also wouldn't be surprised if Chayka was pushing a grey area rule aka not testing the players but rather looking to buy internal data from teams that they keep on their own players.

Putting my money on Lindsay Hofford and his development school being a part of this.

There's presumably no rule barring transmission of data from a camp like this to NHL teams, either for free or for money, so I don't know how they'd nail Hofford despite his dual roles.

Conflict of Interest most likely.

I highly doubt the NHL will see it that way? Or really what's the point of their rule.

They're going to plead "grey area, and the NHL is going to give us a fine less than the maximum. Still dumb to press your luck circumventing the rules this way. "We didn't test them! Honest!"

He'll be in worse standing if we miss the playoffs, no?

It would definitely be time for an Adult conversation with the Owner, the lustre would be off the new toy.

 

[Grimes]

Feel like this probably is a case where a GM tries to get a competitive advantage by testing out a grey area and gets caught. A very Patriots type of move

Fire Chaka, any executive that has his hands in his pockets while being interviewed should be gone,

We don't even know exactly what happened. Everyone is jumping to conclusions.

The question was "he'll be in worse standing if we miss the playoffs, no?" I guess you are correct we don't know if we miss the playoffs yet?

Yeah. Curious if meeting a potential pick at the gym for a conversation over a workout or if AZ was bringing in a full team of people to work a prospect out for proper fitness testing. For example: V02 max machines just don’t materialize at GoodLife Fitness. It’s not just a couple of guys and an exercise bike bought on Craig’s List.
