News: Slava Voynov reinstated July 1, 2020, suspended for 2019/2020 season/playoffs

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Slava Voynov applying for reinstatement to NHL - Sportsnet.ca

Anyone think there will be a taker? I'm guessing he gets an 82 game suspension, but after that? Won't even be 30 yet, I think some team will take a chance on him.

MOD NOTE: Keep the politics out of this. That includes the comparative systems of law and justice, bemoaning "SJWs" and "virtue signaling," etc.

So why he's not playing in the KHL this season?

We can only gue$$.

Well if he did, he would have to go through waivers

Austin Watson makes this hard for the league to fight.

 

[Reaper45]

Kings still own his rights.

 

[Joel Ward]

I'm a fan of his game. If he is reinstated, it'll be very interesting to see what kind of impact he can have in the league and with what team. I think his game is pretty well suited for the style most teams seem to be trying to play these days.

 

[McNurse]

He was a really good defencemen when he was in the league if he can play at the level he use to be able to or even a little less I would take him of the oilers for sure.

Kings own his rights he can’t just sign with someone and from what I’ve read about how he was a culture player here lol that won’t sit well with people and a leader I think Blake brings him back to the Kings

 

[KingPuckChoo]

RETOOL PUT ON HOLD!!

LA has said he will not be a king. That said LA has had a hole on the right side of their second pair since he "left"

Would fill needs of a lot of teams.

I love his game on the ice. I'd take him on the Oilers in a heart beat.

Everyone has an ass**** side and a breaking point where we flip out. Absolutely everyone. It's mostly how you learn from your mistakes and learn to control your temperament that determines what kind of man you are, not the mistakes, as everyone makes those without exception. He's young and you just hope he learns from it and NEVER does it again.

But if he makes the same mistake again, I'd be the first to say 'strap him on a rocket and shoot him into the sun.'

 

[Kamiccolo]

Leafs wouldn't touch him if he was Bobby Orr. Anyone who thinks so has ignored everything the Leafs have said and done over the past 3 years. They want good people first and are one of the most progressive organizations in hockey.

Everyone has an ass**** side. Absolutely everyone.

Balderdash. I'm delightful.

 

[Rorschach]

The Kings are playing so bad there may be opportunity for him on that team.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Balderdash. I'm delightful.

I'm quite sure you are.
We all have a delightful side, too. Hopefully mostly delightful.

 

[Bieber fever]

He will be traded to Arizona where nobody cares . No one will remember him in 3-4 years

Please provide link. I have never heard that and I have been following the closely.

All they’ve ever said was that any discussion was premature, anything is just speculation from writers. And given how this is a topic that is very emotional for many, I wouldn’t believe anything a writer says about it as it’s going to be biased from their own point of view.

Austin Watson makes this hard for the league to fight.

Voynov’s was a LOT worse, so it’s only semi comparable. You can’t just lump everything together regardless of severity. I mean, there’s a big difference between getting roughing for punching a guy in a scrum, and a Bertuzzi/Moore incident. Both are punching someone, yet they’re really not the same thing. Same for this. Watson pushing his drunk, belligerent girlfriend isn’t the same as Voynov punching and kicking his wife and then smashing her head into a TV.

tried to find but could not. Forget if it was DL or Luc but I fore sure remember it being said that he played his last game as a king. Things may have change but it was said.

Panthers took Hoffman I could see them take a flyer in Voynov

Well give you Psysk for free

Will be interesting to see who has interest or even if LA will take him back since they are having trouble so far this season.
