You made it sound like the OP was suggesting he'd play if he was voted in. Everyone knows that it wouldn't be for him to play at all. It would simply be a gesture to show him that the entire hockey community supports him.
It doesn't take a genius to know that the John Scott situation was 10000000% different and was started as a complete joke that led to lots of tension throughout the league, whereas this would literally be the entire league coming together to support one of their own.
You don't think the press would be mindful of his situation and give him all the space in the world? Even then, you don't think the league would step in and make sure Lindblom was completely protected at all costs unless he wanted to speak?
