This is so gross and Edmonton will get everything they deserve when Bowman decimates that franchise.

These Chicago scumbags should have been banned for life. The punishments weren't severe enough and the net of blame should have spread wider.

That aside, his success in Chicago came from the work of one man. Dale Tallon. Bowman inherited a dynasty and shit it away.

Suck it Edmonton.

Not a big surprise for the guy that looked like he might steal the Calder Trophy from Bedard for a little while last season.


That will walk Necas straight up to UFA. Risky on both sides.
Sounds like this is Necas' last deal with the Canes. Either they trade him or he walks.

He's been part of trade rumors for the last year or so. You're right it's highly unlikely he's on the team after the trade deadline in 2026 unless they're a primetime Cup contender.
...but whatever, the Blues won the Cup!!!!!

One too many headshots from Stu Grimson in his career.

Scandal aside... He sucks.

Add the scandal and WTF was Edmonton thinking? Their fanbase is pissed.

One source briefed on the draft night situation said that no gambling impropriety was discovered or any intent for Marek to gain financially from what happened.
Super smart of the NHL/Sportsnet to can one of the best and most popular broadcasters for basically doing the same thing that Woj does every NBA draft. I understand there's some nuance and distinction, but this is stupid.

Yeah and I mute Woj and any of these other guys on draft nights for spoiling picks. Fire em all, put em in prison for all I care. Pick spoiling is worse than if he had been gambling, imo.
Just a Russian propaganda account
