He had a family at home with four kids, and he was the guy that any guy in that locker room could lean on. matched

I would take a bullet for that guy. matched

So the fact that all that went down, now the team's gone because of the shit show, and all these little things have part to do with why the Coyotes left among the ownership group and decision-making along the way, and that was my decision as to why I'm no longer with them. matched

Now, the funny part of it is I announced that, and then... matched

Steve Simmons, who's a reporter, obviously did some research and at the press conference asks an absolute bomb of a question. matched

I thought it was a little offside. matched

I don't think the guy deserved to get hammered on the way that he did, regardless of what he did to my friend. matched

I thought it was a bit much. matched

And the fact that the Steve Simmons guy could have asked him, instead of asking Pelly about the question, he had John Chayka to the left of him. matched

Fucking have the balls to ask Chayka about it. matched

It was basically like, to Pelly, it goes, you told me that you've done extensive research and have done your due diligence. matched

When I've talked to 20 people around the league and 19 of them have told me that this guy has no credibility, he's a snake oil salesman, he's foolish, and just basically like... matched

Like question completely question the guy's character where once again, if you're going to ask the question, just ask it to John Chayka. matched

But that's regardless of that, with the fact that they named him that with the fact that that's the press conference, obviously Leafs land and the whole hockey world's going into an absolute fucking meltdown. matched

And then, sure enough, the next day on ESPN is the lottery draft. matched

And because of the job and the tank job that Leafs did towards the end of the season after Olympics, even though they were probably trying to win, they ended up being top five worst teams, therefore eligible to get the first overall pick. matched

Like, huge bounce. matched

Because if you finish... matched

if you finish like sixth to like 11th, your odds dropped way worse. matched

And if they were able to stay in the top five picks, they wouldn't have have to given up their pick to the Boston Bruins. matched
