Who else is in the "Blackhawks have hired Joel Quenneville" waiting room with me?

They could double down and hire Bill Peters or something next

Why is this a big oof btw?

Traditionally, players get one day with the Cup, but the Hall of Fame tries to accommodate additional requests from past winners as logistics permit.

“No staff member or any other individual working on behalf of the Hockey Hall of Fame knew of Brad Aldrich’s criminal past and transgressions in Chicago until media reports surfaced in June 2021,” said Hockey Hall of Fame spokesperson Kelly Masse

Unless you're suggesting the HoF should know of all the dirty little secrets every NHL club is hiding?

Ducks GM Bob Murray on leave for improper unprofessional conduct. Ducks reviewed it and bumped it to a 3rd party for investigation.

[Cail]

its on the organization though because at that point the meeting/s had already happened

[Richybear]

Why is this a big oof btw?

You're right, it's not.
The guy's out of jail and still on probation as a sexual offender, he's earned another day with Lord Stanley
