Good for him. He'll be in high demand if traded.

 

[izzy]

interesting to see if anyone will take him on

 

[SI90]

Would the kings bring him back or just trade his rights ?

He'd fit perfectly on the blue line and would allow the Kings to move Muzzin, Martinez or Phaneuf for a winger.

He won't play a game. No team will let a marginally good player bring such a distraction. Got to imagine that players in the locker room won't like him...add in the backlash from the media...he's never playing again.

It didn't seem like he was disliked on the kings tbh. Some American team should just take him it's not like they haven't brought back guys that have done the same thing or worse

Marginally good? Lol. The dude was a legit #2.

I'd say, rather top4, which still isn't bad. And I think, he's improved his game since.

Did he not come back and skate with Kings players AFTER the incident?

Second best on the kings cup teams which is pretty good .

Yes the kings got fined for letting him practice while suspended if I remember correctly

 

[sureloss]

Apparently Bill Daly is saying this is not accurate:

 

[Puckclektr]

Not to get political, but with the #metoo movement this might not be the best interests of any team.

 

[TFHockey]

Edmonton has a long history of reclamation projects. Might be a good place for him to turn his career around.

What player in the last 5 years had done worse and been brought back?

You could argue Danton and Billy Tibbetts, but they were further back than that. You may be right, but I can't think of any worse recently.

 

[Yamazaki]

Leafs/mlse won’t be interested after the osuna incident.

 

[Face Of Bear]

He could probably fly under the radar somehwhere like Arizona/Dallas/Vegas/Florida

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

 

[BatVader]

Keep him off my team.
No use for a scum bag like him.

Edmonton might be too much of a fishbowl, and would be too big a distraction.
As an Oiler fan though, I think the winning would out weigh the negative impact his off ice issues would bring.

Probably a football player but I can’t remember the years would be the last one bad timing with the me too thing but if he and his wife do a pr tour idk how bad it would be. Hockey it would prob be O’Reilly or heatley on people charged so it’s not slander

 

[Sweetpotato]

My only question is who is he in the locker room and is he going to behave outside of it.

If the answers are not a distraction/cancer and behave appropriately I'm fine with giving people second chances if they truly regret a decision and work towards changing.

 

[ottomaddox]

leafs are kicking tires!

 

[Dog]

Like to see him get another chance.
