I don't see a ton of tie in between Wideman's case and the concussion lawsuit with former players. That lawsuit is about former players not being advised of the potential effects of repeated concussions and head trauma.
Quote:

The plaintiffs generally allege that the NHL failed to warn its players of the short and long-term effects of repeated concussions and head trauma, failed to adequately care for its players after they received such injuries, and promoted and glorified unreasonable and unnecessary violence leading to head trauma.

Wideman's case has nothing to do with that.
What they may be worried about is a future precedent where you can basically get away with anything if you claim you are concussed while you do it.
