I read an article some time ago about all this and possible ramifications...but i cant find it now.

It may have just been the reporter/writer spin on things but it was suggested that because none of those involved were working in the NHL at the time, that anti-trust issues were part of the equation (at least state side) and the league could not "ban" them from playing in the NHL.

At least that was the gist of it.

Also, and it cant be said enough, no one has been convicted of anything at this point...hell no one has even been accused directly/by name even if its fairly easy to infer who is and is not involved.
