General Hockey Talk - Injuries, signings, factoids + other news from around the league

Brad Treliving is well on his way to doing the same in Toronto

Leaf fans already chasing Klingberg out of town

Why did someone lock the Ottawa thread?

There are two threads The locked one is an old one that got too long I think. Maybe the second one also got locked?

It’s still locked.

Prags’ threads don’t lock at 20 pages

Annoying that Toronto keeps getting away with the LTIR nonsense. Imo next collective agreement should address this.

Drysdale and a 2nd rounder for Gauthier.

Pretty big trade for mid season

I realize Drysdale has missed a lot of development time but Gauthier hasn't played a minute of pro. This could very well turn into great trade for Philly in the end.

Ryan Reaves is saying he's been healthy for weeks but won't be taken off the LTIR.

We got fined a 1st rd pick for not disclosing publicly available information. Why aren't the Leafs getting nailed for continual circumvention of the cap, which includes blatantly lying to league officials, the NHLPA and insurance reps?

What’s the deal with C hart?

So 5 players from the WJC Canadian team have to surrender to London police.

I expect Formenton will be one, anyone hear who the other 4 are? I imagine Carter Hart is an other from the news yesterday.

Formenton has left his team in Switzerland. Mike McLeod, Cal Foote, Hart and Dube are the rumored other 4. NJ granted McLeod and Foote leave, same with Hart and Dube

The original complaint named 8 players. Did the London Police dismiss charges against the other three or are they still investigating? And what happened to the Hockey Canada investigation or was their part of it just to sit and wait for the London Police? And, lastly, the initial complain (filed 2 days after the incident) was dismissed by London Police. So is the axe going to fall on those who did the initial "investigation"?

Sorry, not "dismissed charges" as no-one has been charged yet (let alone convicted). This is going to drag on for a while, yet.

The 5 have to surrender themselves for sexual assault charges. That’s not for questioning. My guess is the process is further along.

Im not sure what all the information is saying but I’m relieved Batherson isn’t one of them.

Sounds like Mark Stone will be back just in time for the playoffs
