[Speculation] Bowman, Quenneville apparently denied reinstatement to NHL by Bettman

Evening Notes: Bowman, Quenneville, LTIR, Levshunov

 

June 8th, 2024 at 9:00pm CST • By Brennan McClain

 

Touching on a variety of topics before the start of the Stanley Cup Final, Commissioner Gary Bettman spoke directly about the futures of executive Stan Bowman and head coach Joel Quenneville. With both rumored to be speaking reinstatement into the NHL, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports that neither will be back in the league next season.

 

Around this time last season, at the same press conference, Bettman confirmed that both were seeking individual appointments to consider reinstatement. As things would turn out, neither has returned to the NHL and may never be awarded reinstatement while Bettman is Commissioner.

Both Qunneville and Bowman resigned from their previous positions in 2021 after both were found partly responsible for “inadequate internal procedures and insufficient and untimely response in the handling of matters related to former video coach Brad Aldrich’s employment” according to the league’s investigation of the sexual assault allegations made by former-player Kyle Beach during the 2010 Stanley Cup playoffs. Despite rumored interest around the league over the last two years, it appears both will have to continue and wait for Bettman to consider reinstatement.

Good. Keep both out and add more of the sick buggers who were part of that disgusting group. 

[gwarrior]

Keep those 2 asshats out!!!!! Don't do a thing about sexual abuse allegations and expect to get back in the league? Fuck off!!!!

[Coconuts]

Good, fuck both of those guys

[PureQuickness]

Considering the VERY light punishment that Chicago as a team got, the punishment needs to be heavier on the people who were directly and indirectly responsible for what happened.

 

While the coach was the one who committed the sexual assault(s), the higher ups enabled it to happen. They could've done something about it, but they CHOSE not to. It wasn't a matter of them not knowing about it. They did. Both of them did.

F Em 

 

I still think that org got off too easy

[gwarrior]

What I don't get, is how the league fined the hawks $2 million, didn't take away any draft picks what so ever. Then allow them to win the draft lottery, get the right to pick Bedard, and make back the $2 million in what, an hour? What a fuckin joke.

He got demoted in 2009 when Bowman got promoted to the GM. 
I don’t think his name was ever mentioned in the investigation or any reports.

They effectively are, but for some reason they're allowed to apply to be allowed back into the league.

That makes no sense.

Imo, Gives the opportunity for the league to look good, by repeatedly denying them re-instatement.

Optics.

another question…who are the teams interested in hiring them which is partly why they continue to apply for reinstatement. Apparently there is demand for their services.

There is at least one poster on this site that would have  liked to have J.Q. become Canuck Coach, but given Rick's. and the teams performance, may have changed their mind.

Yeah. Then they took away Arizona's pick for simply prescouting draftees by having them wear shorts. It's fucking dumb.

I assume it’s like applying for parole for those in jail. Life sentences but they can apply for early release due to “ good behaviour” or something. Ain’t gonna happen, but there it is.
