Was always a big fan of his style of play as a player. Good for the Sharks to give someone new a try versus going to the recycle machine

The thing that's insane to me is that they've been officially looking for a new GM since April, and it took them until the week of the draft to hire a guy that had been a rumored front runner since the very start of the process. Fine by me though, the Sharks haven't been likeable since the Arturs Irbe era.

I liked Marleau. Good Saskatchewan boy.

With Hall of Fame eyebrows.

Detested him as a player and wasn't too fond of him as a person either, but that's way too young for something like this to happen. RIP

I feel like he’s a prime CTE candidate

Other teams fans don't find you annoying when you beat their ass all year. That wipes out the Hawks, but not sure about the Pens. I don't think this was the most scientific of all polls, haha.

“Uh, gee guys, we have no fucking idea what we’re doing… sorry. “

Let’s hope this is true

This may have been foolish of me, but I stopped worrying about his involvement once he signed that contract. I have to imagine Armstrong did a great deal of due diligence on the incident before signing a player to the largest contract in team history. The fact that Kyrou hasn't signed yet isn't concerning necessarily, but worth noting. It could also just be because Thomas is a more valuable player.

You would hope that the full knowledge base behind the St. Louis Blues made 1000% certain that he was at the least not involved in the incident before signing the extension.

You would have to think the entire team heard whispers after it happened. I personally don't feel that players who were not in the room and not involved in the crime should be pressured to publicly disclose what they've heard through the grapevine. Cooperate with the investigation, be a better human being for it, and discourage anything remotely resembling the sort of mindset that allows events like this to occur is all I feel you could hope for for those in the team who were not involved.

For those who were, them and their pro hockey careers can burn in hell.

Lots of legalese there. He definitely knows something.

The thread gets interesting. Apparently, Kyrou wasn't at the event. Not sure why the media doesn't come out and say which players weren't instead of random people throwing around allegations and playing amateur detective.

People's livelihoods and reputations are at stake here.

Oof...

Him and Thomas must have the same lawyer.

Looking a lot like Batherson and Formenton are two of the guys.

Thomas doesn’t come off as a guy that would sexually abuse a passed out girl. He definitely looks like the guy that would pull the old Georgia Scorcher on a passed out chic though…

As one Twitter poster said;

"How does this story keep getting worse?"
