Seems you are looking to manufacture hypocrisy.

Lot's of people are in positions of power and I totally understand the dynamic associated with that. Like I said in my post, if the goal of the personal conduct policy is to root out the various things we have all discussed, it showed also apply to the players like it applies in other workplaces. If that's the actual goal......... like I said, people have a habit of protecting their meal tickets a little more.
In your employment or mine, in 2019, we aren't getting away with calling people racist slurs, sexually harassing, "unprofessional conduct" or abusing other staff members. Wither or not we are in management doesn't really play a role.
But why shouldn't a personal conduct policy apply to the players? If the NHL want's to change the culture, doesn't that mean all hands on deck? Everybody is on notice?
