Elias Pettersson Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 (edited) So it looks like Cal Foote, Jonah Gadjovich, Brett Howden, Maxime Comtois and Alex Formenton are the 5 guys still unsigned from the 2018 team. My bet is Alex Formenton is the guy that picked up the girl and brought her to the hotel. The others may have been the ones in the room and either watched or got involved as well. Just speculation only, but perhaps teams have been given a heads up as to the players on the hot seat... EDIT: I believe there were 8 guys in total in the room, so at this point who knows for sure...

Gadjovich I believe came out and said he had no part in anything, or his agent did on his behalf. Also Gadj was in a long term relationship at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Gadj was in a long term relationship at the time. Gadjovich was one of the first players to come out and state he had no involvement too. I really hope he wasn't part of it, I think fondly of him and hope to keep it that way. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Dillon Dubé, Calgary Flames “Dillon did not engage in any wrongdoing, and he co-operated fully with the independent London Police Service investigation in 2018, through which all players were then cleared of any wrongdoing.” — Dube’s agent, Dave Cowan Brett Howden, Vegas Golden Knights “I had absolutely no interaction, verbally or physically, with the complainant, which I explained fully to the Hockey Canada investigator…I will of course co-operate in the NHL investigation as I did in the Hockey Canada investigation.” — Howden’s agent, J.P.

Alex Formenton, Ottawa Senators No statement or comment has been issued. Obviously concern is mostly around Formenton but Dube and Batherson's statements weren't great and Comtois is a bit concerning as well. Sad, terrible situation and hope the investigation was fair, un-biased and if appropriate the punishment firm and just. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a better summary: https://www.cbc.ca/news/players-statements-world-juniors-2018-1.6597503 I have posted in another thread in the past and the only 4 players that have not denied any wrongdoing are Katchouk, Batherson, Mcleod and Forementon. The other 4 members involved were CHL players that were not part of the Team Canada Roster. To be clear, Comtois and Gadjovich both have come out and said they were not involved. I think they're Free Agents just because nobody wanted to sign them (yet). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenton, was the first to respond, speaking for Clague, Bean and Hart: “None of the players you reference engaged in any wrongdoing, all of the players co-operated fully with the independent London Police Service investigation in 2018, and all players were then cleared of any wrongdoing.” Seems a few players went thru their agents instead of doing it themselves.

Odd. Posted July 13, 2023 Author Share Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) Tweet continued: If NHL names and suspends players allegedly involved, affected players would likely appeal any sanctions to an arbitrator, as per CBA, and may pursue defamation lawsuits vs league, said agent of one player who attended 2018 Hockey Canada gala. (While an investigating officer in October wrote in court documents he believes there are grounds to charge at least five players, police in London continue to decline comment other than to say an investigation is ongoing.)

Odd. Posted July 13, 2023 Author Share Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) Should be pretty soon till we get the names. this is only the beginning. There will be a ton of lawsuits and very long and drawn out court proceedings. After the whole Chicago debacle, NHL will be under intense scrutiny and pressure.
