I think there's a story without an allegation. I want to know how typical it is for teams to have prospects brought in well ahead of the combine. What happens during these meetings? What are the rules? Have there been complaints previously? What were the findings?
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?
