What Was The NHLPA Thinking?

from Elliotte Friedman of CBC,
The battle between Paul Kelly and the NHLPA just got even uglier.
The Toronto Star reported Wednesday that the union hired former Ontario Chief Justice Roy McMurtry to investigate whether or not it was correct to fire Kelly for looking at confidential documents.
According to the newspaper, McMurtry found that Kelly committed “a serious breach of trust” and that there was “legal cause to terminate him.”
But the NHLPA should never have hired McMurtry to investigate Kelly.
And McMurtry should never have accepted.
from TSN,
It appears as thought the NHL Players’ Association has made a major blunder in their attempt to prove they had just cause for the firing of former PA head Paul Kelly.

Jesus… the NHLPA is going to get absolutely NO sympathy or public support when they’re trying to get a better CBA if they don’t clean up their own house in a hurry. Right now, they just look like a bunch of stupid, careless, in-fighting morons.

What was the NHLPA thinking? They WEREN’T thinking haha.
But actually this falls 95% on McMurtry. I don’t know about up there, but if I failed to disclose an obvious conflict like that, I’d be losing my license to practice law for quite some time. That’s a no-brainer. It’s really unbelievable the way things are unfolding… the Lindros touch of death, I wager.
