If it was all as available as they say, the NHL is either: at least as liable to not only know the information, but act accordingly. Or guilty of purposely withholding information regarding the potential longterm effects of players participating in that state. Either way, it's bad.

The NHL has faced resistance from the players on both the idea of wearing helmets, and more recently, of wearing visors. But yes, lets be disingenuous and whine about how the big bad NHL is taking advantage of a bunch of dumb, ignorant and helpless farm boys - and their agents. And their union.
You can whine about the language the NHL uses, but the fact is, the players and its union were, at minimum, equally negligent. If not more so given their history of fighting attempts at increasing player safety.
