NHL investigating Coyotes over physical testing of CHL players

[ParisSaintGermain]

We know Chayka will exploit any cracks or grey areas possible to get an advantage. That is what is expected of him tbh.

It feels that some pundits desperate to get Chayka caught. We will see....

But one thing for sure: for better or worse, Chayka will never be at the back of the pack.

this is all sounding like a Three’s Company episode with Bettman playing Mr Roper.

I prefer Suzanne Summers to Tocchet, personally...

She doesn’t currently have a coaching gig. She might be available to take over.

There are two articles in the Athletic about this. The article from 2/3/2020 gives more details than the article of 1/31/2019, including the name of Tommy Powers. Powers is the strength and conditioning consultant, who previously worked for the team and owns Empowers Performance.

If he had draft eligible clients, who were also interviewed by the Coyotes and he served as the consultant...this could be the issue.

Tommy Powers

Would be nice if this scandal at least netted us a star player. Yeesh!

Judge asks Chayka to present his defence. He calls Clayton Keller to the Stand. Case Dismissed says the Judge.

Probably Bahl.

Watch us lose high end draft picks. This might be more serious than we first thought. I would think our owner is not impressed with this, if we end up losing picks etc. If this incident grows legs, Chayka might be in big trouble. Once lawyers get involved look out.

 

[Mosby]

This is such a silly rule.

 

[Mosby]

Trade the picks ... can't lose high picks if you don't have them

 

[Jamieh]

IF this story has legs Uncle Gary will not be happy.

 

[AZviaNJ]

How are you doing today Lindsay Hofford?

 

[Resistance]

This is such a silly rule.

Yeah organizations should be able to wild-west contact and testing of minors.



Should be a first round pick lost for each violation.

Who was talking about this year or next.

Oh yeah 20 first round picks should do it.

If anything more than fines happen, like the loss of another 1st round pick (we're already out this this years) then Meruelo needs to fire the front office. I like Chayka but this would be a BIGGG f*** up

 

[Mosby]

Uncle Gary isn't gonna fine us <3

Picks aren't part of the agreed upon punishment.

20 x 250k isn't a small chunk of change, though.

 

[Jamieh]

Who cares if we get a fine? I learned in the Tocc thread it's no big deal for the Owner to eat the money to get better.

 

[Resistance]

Given the recent precedence of ownership firing management for cheating (MLB), expect a clean sweep after the fines are announced.

Yeah I don’t see that happening.

big gap between banging on trash cans and eyeballing a potential draft pick.

Ray Shero would be a fine upgrade.

lmao

Chayka was extended while Meruelo likely knew about this. It's a gray area. The league is not going to drop the anvil on the Coyotes of all teams. It's nothing remotely like the cheating that went on in MLB.

Ray Shero would be a fine upgrade.

Not in the salary cap era

Do you have a link for this?
