If a guy is 500k in the hole, there is a chance there are people coming after him so the NHL should probably ask some questions.

Not sure what you're getting at by saying it's irrelevant, but by definition, publicly traded companies business outcomes are being bet on by the public. The analogy is the same. It's no different then regular folks working for publicly traded companies and gambling/investing their salaries away. Unless they were gambling/investing on something that was prohibited, why would the company care?
If and only if Kane's debt is somehow entangled with the prohibited NHL CBA gambling list, the league has no reason to get involved, it doesn't affect them.
