If NHL teams are footing the bill for family visits, this would be the first I’ve heard of it.
I could see teams covering the cost of mothers and fathers trips but beyond that, the players and their families should be on their own. These people aren’t foreign dignitaries.

So, fair enough - but “should” is irrelevant.
If one team treats players better than the other and does stuff like putting up the family, then that’s a point in favour of that organization over the ones that don’t do that.
It’s competition. It’s why the Leafs don’t give a #%^* about getting fined $100K if it feels it out them in a better position to win the following game. Every edge matters.
