Ducks to formally charge Oilers with tampering

[rinkrat]

One day after suggesting that the NHL look into a potential Edmonton Oilers tampering violation regarding right wing Corey Perry, General Manager Brian Burke said Friday that the Ducks will file a formal charge with the league.

Reached earlier Friday via E-mail, NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said the league “would need to receive a formal charge with supporting rationale” before launching any tampering investigation.

Burke confirmed that the Ducks intend to submit just such a formal request either later Friday or Monday.

Burke said during a Thursday conference call with Ducks beat reporters that the club had “asked” the NHL “to make a full investigation” into whether a July 4 comment by Oilers general manager Kevin Lowe constituted tampering.

“Corey Perry is a hell of a player,” Lowe said during an interview with Edmonton’s Team 1260 radio. “What I really want to say about his (Burke’s) bickering about parity and the salary cap is if you’re unhappy about them, then trade him (Perry) our way. We’ll be glad to have him.”

[Mr. Teeny]

He's such a Burke of Dicks.

Am I missing something? How does that comment constitute tampering?

Wouldn't Corey Perry have to say, "Yeah, Lowe contacted me before July 1st."

Burke really does love to see his name in the Press.

I think Burke is a pretty good GM but he really is an attention whore.

this has officially jumped into the realm of the absurd. Burke is a donkey...this is turning into two little girls bickering...

thats what i was thinking

look, the Ducks are the McNall era Kings...throwin all in for a shot at the cup, and the fall-out. An owner who will most likely see some jail time...and a long way to the bottom. The only difference is the ducks made good with their shot. Bastards. Thanks Ottawa...Look, the Ducks are in cap hell...and they are going to have to watch their carefully raised players leave because there is no money left. And if Burkie wants to bring up tampering issues, perhaps the NHL should look into all of the off season speculation and talk about him jumping ship and heading off to Toronto...for f's sake, it was the worst kept secret that they were courting him...All-in-all...#uck-a-duck.
Burke is coming out looking bad in this'un...good, never liked him anyway...Hey Burke, good luck selling out games when your team slides to the bottom...at least Kings fans support a losing team! Kings were here before ya...and they will be here when you move to Kansas City...
