So scuttlebutt has it that the investigation into the Canadian World Jr team rape incident will be coming out this week and that the NHL will be releasing their response regarding the players involved as well.
Thoughts and expectations?
Have heard all sorts of rumours as to this being the reason why a few strange player moves have occurred this summer.

The only strangeness I saw is Formenton, coupled with his lawyer/agent response.
I'm still baffled how this is a Hockey Canada issue and they paid off the victim.

I am guessing this will be a Friday afternoon news dump leading into the long weekend. The news will release at around 5:00 EST, and the NHL will hope that it will be forgotten and ignored over the weekend.

I've heard that 5 players will receive suspensions, and that they include some very recognizable names.
I also am somewhat confused as to these latest articles since the "victim" has been paid off. Makes you wonder if they are contemplating suing in civil court after the fact, though I would think that would have been part of the settlement that they wouldn't take further action.

Depends on the terms of the settlement.
I could see Hockey Canada blanket indemnifying themselves and giving the individual players X years to come to some form of settlement with the injured party. HC were just paying the person off in the hope to hush them up about the organization's involvement until no one cared. It came out and so now the org isn't going to try and cover for the players any longer as HC already has been disgraced. At this point their best hope is to stand back and pray that they don't get any more mud in their direction while the rest of this plays out.

Mike, when Makar is suspended you won't want him on your team anymore. However, I'm not as honorable as you are.
