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.

There's no reason they couldn't have reported on the first lawsuit if not the second lawsuit. They don't need to get 'proof' of anything except that the lawsuits were indeed filed. I mean, they didn't wait to report on Henderson's lawsuit against Wideman.
They intentionally remained silent.
