I’m comfortable with their role, but not comfortable that any players guilty of this were free to play all this time.
I just understand the limits of what they could actually do and the legal ramifications for acting outside of those limits. I also ask myself why the victim would want to cooperate with the current employer of these players that will bring her no justice, and at best protect themselves from bad PR.

Dube was signed a year before the NHL was informed of the lawsuit, after the LPD cleared the players of wrongdoing, and long before the LPD re-opened the investigation. Walking Dube to free agency would be exactly what they’re doing this year, where he is a free agent in a few months and no mention of contract negotiations have taken place since last summer.
What would trading him have accomplished? Made him someone else’s problem? If there was enough smoke, what team is taking him?
