Based on this, I am speculating this was a case of him providing insider information to someone else betting on NHL games. I read somewhere (can’t find it again) that players are allowed to bet on non NHL games.
I would consider this a rule from the days when sports betting was not legal by and large, but that’s no longer the case. I would hope they fight it too.
Interesting that the punishment was so long

That’s about the only explanation that makes sense based on the length of suspension and the players association not fighting it.
I wonder if the NHLPA are going to fight this one.
It looks like they will not.
Wow
