Totally interesting. If a player starts threatening another player, or there is a player on player confrontation that effects the workplace. Much like Tonya Harding threats that end up on a contract players phone, before assault occurs it's not the business of the NHL or NHLPA or the franchise. I guess the leap is to assume ultimately these two players on the same team were texting each other. Parking lot confrontations of fellow employee's isn't really a normal everyday life occurrence. Or is it? Did the people within the organization know and did not step in to mitigate.
In the case of Wideman it was part of the NHLPA/NHL agreement where he had to turn his phone over and the texts were not deleted and thus became self-incriminating with the league justice.
Anyways, just trying to understand this angle of it. To be clear I am talking about anything these two players did which aggravated the situation or put a match to a fire.
