It really is a serious joke...
What this league needs is mandatory FA sessions and personal mental health checks that are more frequent than what is in place now, and by unbiased professionals.

It's also the players own money, so what they do with it is really their business. I would also guess they have the best idea as to what life is like post-career and what might help tackle the problems.
It's also worth noting that not all NHL players end up making millions.
