Bad contracts
He got lucky winning the draft lottery.
What do you guys think? | lol the older i get, the more i realize half of the GM's job is luck. haha
As for JB, i feel if we take his ability to sign UFA's away, he's pretty good of a GM based on drafting and trading.
Man if only Sakic would come back to Vancouver!

OK so the director of player safety runs a clothing line called "Violent Gentleman" which sold a MAGA style hat 
NHL is officially a clown fiesta
Every team needs to speak out on this, take the $250K fine if they have to. Get rid of that loser!
Imagine failing this post  | |

George Parros must have nude pics of Bettman and his bf or something ... how the hell does he have a job as the Director of Player Safety in the NHL? What qualifications does he hold?

Keep in mind that this is the maximum allowable fine per the CBA.
It is really on the players to change it if they don't think it is enough.
Personally, I don't think it should be a maximum dollar amount but a maximum percentage of someone's salary.

That's the maximum amount allowed and that's on the NHLPA.
If they actually care about their own player safety, then should raise the maximum to be 20 games of a players salary or something, not 5k per the CBA.

Do some of you actually feel bad for the Rangers? The Rangers really didn't lose anything. A player on another team didn't get suspended. Really has nothing to do with the NYR. Did you guys forget how the NHL gifted them the 2nd overall pick Kaapo Kakko in 2019 when they had the 6th best odds and gifted them the 1st overall pick Alexis Lafreniere in 2020 when they really didn't deserve to draft them? It's almost the NHL's way of saying "hey look *wink wink*, we don't favour the New York Rangers *wink wink*

After so many times, when do you just say enough is enough?
Guys seems pretty similar to Vontaze Burfict in the NFL, who has paid over $5 million in fines and has been suspended a total of 1.5 NFL seasons over his career.
Suspend this guy for half a season next time! And then a full season after that! Bet we won't see so many dirty hits after that.

People just don't like NHL being run like it's a bush league managed by clowns, especially when it comes to player safety. This can easily have a snowball effect leading into more goon hockey.

Would be real karma if someone went over there, grabbed his head and smashed it into the ice while he was keeled over. Would only cost em $5k.

MCDavid gets 100 points in 53 games. Well done!
Only Gretzky, Lemieux, and Jagr attained 100 points in fewer games than McJesus.
