The NHL has been criticized for various business decisions over the past few months, as they've recently lost multiple big money deals and partnerships with mega-corporations such as Gatorade and Adidas.
Not to mention Gary Bettman's stubborn obsessions to keep the Arizona Coyotes in the league, even if they play in a university arena that holds 5000 fans.
But the biggest concern would be about the NHL players and their health.
Concussions in the NHL have been happening at an alarming rate, and the league has taken only small steps after former players have been forced to retire from head injuries.
Every other professional sports league seems to be looking at ways to solve this problem, but the NHL.
As NHL player agent Allan Walsh, would reveal this on Twitter:
The NFL, the Canadian Government and the U.S. Military have all acknowledged a link between head impacts and CTE. But not the NHL.
