That doesn’t change that teams are committed to the contracts as a consequence of death. Every team in aware of, including flames, elects to cover the guaranteed contracts through their internal insurance programs. That’s really the business of the team, as they are liable either way; and quite frankly, the insurance isn’t terribly expensive because of the rarity of how often these events occur. It would be business malpractice not to cover.

So my correction is simply the level of NHL mandate on the coverage required; but it’s irrelevant from player perspective.

Lastly, it’s a friendly conversation, meant to be informative during a terrible time. No interest in your accusation or having an immaterial, non friendly discussion on the matter. We’re all here for the same reason with positive vibes for Johnny, and his family.
