Philadelphia Flyers Should Sue The NHL

[phillyflyers]

So a few years back, the Flyers had a starting goalie named Carter Hart.

He was very good. The backbone of the team.

Then Hart, along with a few other players, got accused of raping a woman in a hotel in Canada.

The league forced the Flyers, and the teams of the other players, to basically rip up Hart's contract while the case was going on.

Turns out, the woman making the accusations is a nutbag who lied about the whole thing.

Now, Carter Hart is going to sign with another team, the Flyers lost the best goalie the organization had, and the league, who made the Flyers cancel the player's contract, is not going to compensate the Flyers in any way for making them lose their prized goalie.

How the fukk is this allowed to happen?

The Flyers need to sue the NHL to set an example that the league can't treat it's own organizations like this.

They should have waited until the case was official one way or the other before jumping to a decision

Exactly correct.

The league assumed guilt before the trial.

Flyers need to sue the shit out of them.

I think both the NHL, the Flyers, and other teams were playing it safe in this situation. The pressure from the fans/social media when you hear that kind of case is just too much. We tend to judge immediately and disregard the "innocent till proven guilty".

Flyers had nothing to do with that decision. It was all NHL.
