The NHL initiated the investigation and then brought it to Sportsnet. I think it was a "you better fire this guy" thing.
Likely due to any sensitivites related to gambling.
Is it sensitivities due to gambling or is it more the NHL being upset that this ruins the kayfabe around the picks and when they’re submitted/announced? They’ve already had a bit of a kerfuffle around the lottery, so they could be sensitive to accusations things being ‘arranged’ ahead of time.
