Insider Trading: NHLPA's Fehr investigation to be made public

TSN Hockey Insiders Chris Johnston and Darren Dreger join host James Duthie to discuss the pending release of an independent investigation into Donald Fehr's initial response to the Kyle Beach incident in 2010, Bruce Boudreau's future behind the bench with the Vancouver Canucks, and more.

James Duthie: A report is ready on NHLPA head Donald Fehr’s initial response to what happened to Kyle Beach in Chicago, so the question becomes are we all going to see it?

Chris Johnston: Yes. Sources do say this report will be made public by the NHL Players’ Association at some point on Thursday or perhaps on Friday. As TSN’s Rick Westhead reported earlier in the week, the 32 player reps from the teams had a chance to review the report. They had a call on Monday night and they have since been voting on whether to make it public and our sources suggest at least 18 of them have given the yes vote to make that go ahead. The report was prepared independently by a law firm in Toronto, looking into Fehr’s behaviour and how he handled those allegations back in 2010.

Duthie: The Vancouver Canucks, six points out of a playoff spot, but a good recovery from where they were earlier in the season. Probably running out of time to make the playoffs, but what happens with Bruce Boudreau, how close to a decision on whether or not he returns?

Darren Dreger: There’s a good chance Bruce Boudreau will be back as the head coach of the Vancouver Canucks, but they want to wait until the end of the season and like all hockey operations departments across the NHL, they’ll go through that hockey ops review and coaching will be a big part of that. The playoff dreams are fading for the Canucks, but the games they are playing matter to this group and they matter
