I think the Sens have pretty good grounds to terminate the contract on the basis of breach of the morality clause in case it is proven that Hoffman knew about this, didn't do anything to stop it, or in the worst case even fueled some of it. For your fanbase's sake, I hope he proves he knew nothing about it and cuts bait, but that seems far-fetched sadly. This past season for the Sens seems eerily similar to the one Avs had a year ago, they started off well, and then soon after the wheels fell off, and the broken locker room played a huge part in the Avs season where Iginla and Beauchemin along with some other alienated the entire young core. It was painfully obvious no one there gave a care in the world and everyone just wanted the season to end.

I hope Dorion does the same here as Sakic did in Colorado and gets rid of everyone who can be deemed cancerous to the locker room, they jettisoned Iginla and Beauchemin, buried Colbourne in the AHL, not even letting him befoul the ice in the A, traded away Duchene and decided to build around the group that are all close friends in Mack, Tyson, Landeskog, EJ etc. Of course, it was a bit easier for Sakic to do so because the guys he needed to get rid of were easily disposable and didn't carry as much value as Hoffman, well save for Duchene, but Matt was never perceived as a problem child. He was just in a dire need for a change of scenery and I feel bad he ended up in another toxic environment, just as I feel bad for you all, being forced to endure the same ineptitude and disregard for fans from my favorite soccer club. I hope and know this will be better if not right away soon down the road, and I wish Gary had the balls to do what Silver did in the NBA when he took the Clippers from their owner for conduct determinantal to the image of the league and the sake of the club.
