The business rep and union lawyers better be doing their job to the best of their ability every day, all day. As a Teamster myself your comment is offensive. My father was a shop steward for decades and if you said that to him when he was alive you would have been doing the man dance on the spot. It's not meant against teamsters, unions, sports, government, anything. It's reality that equality is long dead. Long ago a victim of greed and corruption. Their is no such thing as equality anymore. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If his appeal loses, it must change his bankruptcy situation. Bankruptcy is a privilege, not a right. You have to behave during the process (and Evander only knows how to behave badly). He may lose his opportunity to even have a bankruptcy if he has acted illegally in a material way. Who are his creditors? They may include 'unsavory characters' who may be looking to 'collect' in their own way, with their own methods. Personally, I am beginning to think he is going to jail and will face even rougher 'justice' inside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be pretty pissed if Sharks are able to just walk away from Kane's cap hit. I don't care about how the money gets resolved, but after enduring 3 years of the Luongo's 3 million penalty, I don't want to see league playing favourites and letting Sharks get away with it. If Vancouver had a Owner/GM/President with ANY sort of backbone we would have fought the league regarding the Luongo penalty. But we kept out mouth shut like good ole Canadians and absorbed it like cowards and let the league continue to screw the team over 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CBA would still have passed, but the league would not have been able to say "Unanimous agreement".aiui Having agreed to the deal, an appeal on the recapture penalty would have been a complete waste of time, so at least Frank didn't try.

I think you have to look at the context of being an owner in a non-original 6 market. Sure Aqua could have done that. What does that do to his relationship with the NHL going forward? it was a crappy, impossible to win situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People should always stand up for what they believe is right. Frank agreed to be punished for doing something that was not against the rules. He rolled, and imo he didn't need to. "Hey, NHL want a deal, then take out the cap recapture penalty and I'll sign, otherwise you can still have your CBA; but it won't be unanimous." Any hint that the Canucks would get punished for not voting yes, would be met with a very serious lawsuit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day you're choosing to be part of a small club running a league. We don't know how heated it got, what was said, etc. But at some point you're in or you're out as part of a business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Johnson Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Maybe him playing for team Canada might give him a opportunity to prove something. No monetary gain just hockey, which he is very good at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got into hockey very early and everyone believed he was on his way to the NHL some day. One day on a walk, I’m on Main (back in the 90’s it was contained). And some dude begs for change, sketching out on me. It was Michael. My heart still goes out to him today wherever he is, if he’s still with us… Mikey I'm pretty sure I know the guy as well payed for Brit (East van) had a 2tone helmet black and white cooper like this vv. Unfortunately Mikey is scitzophrenic. I haven't been in van for 10 years now so I don't know how he is or if he is still alive but when I was in van I'd every so often buy him a coffee n a muffin sit down for a chat. The conversations he had with me were much friendlier than the ones he was having with himself. He's been on a really hard long road. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
