A big part of the problem isn’t just the NHL and what they want, it’s that there are fans who are happy to see these guys die as part of the cost of preserving the “purity” of the sport.

Just a lil bit of hyperbole perhaps?
Traumatic brain injuries and the deteriorating mental health of enforcer's is the topic of the study being considered, and maybe changes will be made. But suggesting that any real "fans" are happy to see players die as a result of fighting is a pretty wild statement.
The fact that players have been dealing with these health issues after (or sometimes during) their career's as enforcer's is the entire reason we are all here talking about it, doesn't seem like anyone's very happy about it.
