David Pastrnak asked about 'recruiting' players at World Championship
In a recent podcast interview, David Pastrnak made a comment about a player who was under contract with another team that might have crossed the line.
During his latest visit on the Spttin' Chiclets Podcast, Boston Bruins forward David Pastrnak started talking about possible additions to the team. Talking to Paul Bissonnette, Biz started reciting the names of players who might travel to Boston to play alongside the forward.
When it came to recruiting during the World Championships, Pastrnak was questioned. Biz mentioned Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl while going over the list, and Pasta responded.
I would love Draisaitl!
Biz immediately began to call out that the comment could be perceived as tampering.
Following up on his talk about Draisaitl, Biz mentioned Tyler Bertuzzi as a possible Bruins target. But Pastrnak was evident that Bertuzzi had gone too far when he signed with the opposing Maple Leafs.
Although players frequently encourage others to join them, this rarely occurs when they are under contract. The Edmonton Oilers are always the first to report any possible tampering claims, albeit it is unlikely that the NHL will respond to this. Anything is possible considering that the Oilers complained to the NHL last week regarding the Vancouver Canucks' green men banner.
