I do think there are serious issues with how he and the NHL in general treated CTE, and how they've let teams evade cap rules (especially stuff like Kane).
Totally agreed. When it comes to CTE he likely has to deal with a lot of the dinosaurs in the NHL such as Colin Campbell who loved seeing players get their bells rung and the strange choosings of former goons to handle NHL player discipline. As for salary cap circumvention as much as the fans hate it, I imagine a lot of the power teams in the NHL right now Oilers, Leafs, Rangers, Lightning, are all for abusing those rules and it's a matter of maybe not enough other organizations stepping up as well as the NHLPA likely having their say as stashing players on LTIR enables opportunities for free agents to get work.
