Yeah I think people are jumping the gun. I'm a bit of a sucker for giving people the benefit of doubt but I think there's little chance the Kings are just using a bad situation for easy cap relief and the NHL is playing along.
- Bettman has a history of crushing teams that try and mess with the cap, so he's not likely to be sympathetic.
- The PA and agents and players are almost as deadly an enemy as Bettman
- The Kings already have a #### show on their hands with voyonov and have not terminated his contract, so they are fataed in the court of public opinion
- The Kings know all this, and still went nuclear in terminating the contract , crossing a line no one has even flirted with before that I can remember.
So, to me, either they are really really really dumb, or there is way more to this story than we know. The fact that no one, including Richards, is saying anything to oppose this by now makes me think the latter.
