REPORT: NHL TO INVESTIGATE MAPLE LEAFS FOR TAMPERING
Tuesday, July 7th, 2009Before the July 1st deadline the Maple Leafs Head Coach speculated on a radio show in Toronto that the Leafs would be targeting the Sedin Brothers. As a result the NHL is conducting a tampering investigation that is NOT a request of the Canucks. This is an NHL action alone.
The fine for tampering could be anything from a financial compensation to a draft pick.
My question is: Is it 2 tampering Charges (1 for each player)?
