putting this with the esq after my name from now on thank you

[PHF @PHF]

@strongforecheck You know puck

[🔆eleni🔆 @strongforecheck]

@Kyle_Cush @baxtefer @GenXCarlyT They can ask the league to add players to their ENTL if they do run out!

[🔆eleni🔆 @strongforecheck]

@_landercook @cookstarkhockey Just glad my degree was worth the money 😂

[🔆eleni🔆 @strongforecheck]

Being a lawyer right now is so funny. Because like, I can completely see why people are reading the rules and seeing things happen and going “that’s not in the rules”…but my sick and twisted education has me going well TECHNICALLY….

[🔆eleni🔆 @strongforecheck]

@LowellMillGal Also, if it’s silent on something, you can’t just assume that “something” is disallowed

[🔆eleni🔆 @strongforecheck]

EFOs and FPOs can only be signed in phase 2.

BUT, not all contracts signed in phase 2 MUST be either an EFO or an FPO (see: Jenner)

[🔆eleni🔆 @strongforecheck]

Nobody said that ALL contracts signed in this stage HAD to be either an EFO or an FPO. Everyone assumed that (including me originally)…but that’s not actually what it said

[🔆eleni🔆 @strongforecheck]

@SlowpokeNick5 @JordanDollar @IanKennedyCK I would be extremely surprised if a team offered an EFO to someone they’ve never spoken to.

what an odd way to describe cheating on the mother of your two toddler children and having her find out about her own divorce through the press as she was coming off the field from practice. 0 world cup minutes played btw not sure what’s warranting a documentary here

[🔆eleni🔆 @strongforecheck]

@itsmeMariePier If we had real evidence that 1-2 players on teams were speaking out of turn (ie: out of their own interest and not aligned with their teammates) and it was resulting in firings I might feel differently. But…I don’t hear or see that at all

[🔆eleni🔆 @strongforecheck]

Call me crazy but I think it’s probably good for workers to get some say in whether or not their boss is a good boss and should continue to be their boss

[🔆eleni🔆 @strongforecheck]

if a coach so thoroughly loses a room that a GM sees any value in going into literally the absolute worst nightmare offseason of all time WITHOUT a coach…the problem probably was not that a handful of players were irritated with the coach

[🔆eleni🔆 @strongforecheck]

Imagine if everyone was like “I can’t believe the Vegas Golden Knights ran Bruce Cassidy out of town, this is out of hand”

[🔆eleni🔆 @strongforecheck]

@GenXCarlyT @SlowpokeNick5 @Kyle_Cush That’s correct

[🔆eleni🔆 @strongforecheck]

If you have questions about the PWHL expansion process you can reply and I’ll try to answer em. I feel like there’s been a lot of (extremely understandable) confusion

[🔆eleni🔆 @strongforecheck]

@vocal_socialist @Kyle_Cush idk man 😔

[🔆eleni🔆 @strongforecheck]

@charlesbdb @Kyle_Cush homophobia (for legal reasons this is a joke)

[🔆eleni🔆 @strongforecheck]

@plaverty24 @Kyle_Cush @CreaseGiants June 30

[🔆eleni🔆 @strongforecheck]

@Kyle_Cush @CreaseGiants I think the way the guidance was originally listed made it sound like only the players on those lists could be contacted today. The PWHLPA clarified that’s not the case (for players whose contracts expire at the end of June)

[🔆eleni🔆 @strongforecheck]

@Kyle_Cush @CreaseGiants Point of clarification, players on EXPIRING contracts don’t need to be on a 10 team list to have conversations with all teams beginning today at 12 ET. So any free agent can have a conversation today.
