IIRC the reason he lost his leverage in contract negotiations is the rumors of his involvement with the sexual assault started bubbling up.

Seems like a shot in the dark to get some NHL level earnings for what might be an unsalvagable hockey career.
This would be a very complicated case requiring weeks of evidence and testimony.

I wouldn’t rush to make judgement based on seeing none of that.
