The optimist in me says that they were doing their due-diligence (or, at least waiting until The Athletic did theirs) before making it a story. With such serious subject matter, it's not about the speed at which you report it - it's about getting the facts right.
The pessimist in me says they were trying to manage their relationship with the NHL for as long as they could, before The Athletic started really digging and it couldn't be ignored anymore.
