The league knows the only fan base and culture that would accept these type of individuals involved in sexual misconduct this day and age is the Edmonton Oilers. Knowing that the league sets up opportunities for Oilers to improve their personnel and team withe these type of individuals.
They do this for two reasons,
1. They need to market McDavid and have him in the spotlight
2. The league needs the Cup to come back to Canada at least one year. It continually being won in the sunbelt states is not good for the league.
It is disgusting, but unfortunately that’s how things work now.
