How is that at all obvious? You freely admit we don't really know what happened, but then seem pretty sure it's a minor transgression.
To put it a different way, why would you at all risk breaking the rules unless you felt you were getting a clear and valuable advantage?
It seems too easy to get caught if it's as egregious as some seem to be imagining.
I wish the hockey media, who obviously doesn't have much to do, would at least provide some background and context, even it it's not related to this specific incident. I think there is a story, here, even if it doesn't deal directly with an open investigation. I don't think they'll get people to talk much about this specific allegation, but I think most of us are curious about this issue in a general way, right? Some questions I would love a journalist to answer for me:
1. Was this a bunch of prospects and once, or one at a time?
2. Do other teams hold these types of events or meetings with prospects?
3. If so, what to they most typically entail?
4. How common is this practice?
5. What are the specific rules about these meetings or events?
6. How do teams protect themselves against violations?
7. Are prospects and agents aware of these lines that shouldn't be crossed?
8. Have there ever been any other complaints investigated by the NHL? How often? What were the outcomes?
