Around the League 2019-2024 Edition

I don’t think Marek’s buddy gambled on the info, just looked smart on twitter and propped up his business

It’s super dumb of Marek to release any privileged info

Marek was feeding insider info to a buddy who in turn was using that info to make himself appear to be more knowledgable than he really is. That knowledge was used to prop up his private business and, presumably, give him an advantage over other businesses. The NHL didn't like that and they reported Marek and his buddy to the Nevada Gaming Control Board, who conducted an investigation which, presumably, raised red flags for Marek's employer Sportsnet.

Obviously it's not just a dumb thing to do, it was incredibly stupid for the reason below.

It’s a workplace infraction for sure because media people sign agreements on how to handle privileged info granted by league sources as part of broadcast agreements

Did it say how far in advance he gave the info? I haven't been on Twitter in a while but I remember freidman tweeting the selection before it was made several times.
 
Let's be honest, the biggest problem with Marek is how horrifically dull he was. No one will miss him. Typical dull person with no real opinions or emotions SN hired.
He was more interesting when he use to talk wraslin'.

And it seems as if he went quietly - no wrongful dismissal action?

Dead to rights.
