BREAKING - Former Consultant Sues NHLPA for $100M
Per TSN's Rick Westhead, former NHLPA consultant Richard Rodier filed a $100M lawsuit against the NHL's Players' Association for - basically - manipulating data, which allowed the NHL to pay players less money. Allegedly.
Full story:
The NHLPA responded, denying the veracity of Rodier's claims, which is entirely unsurprising. Rodier was staffed by the NHLPA from 2011-2015, although he consulted the association through 2018.
Westhead also reports that Rodier had assisted in building a 2011 lawsuit against the NHL, which alleged that three clubs - Nashville, Washington, and Arizona - misrepresented revenue.
This story is chock-full of legal jargon and intricate details with which only lawyers and accountants can keep up. But to the Layman, select NHL clubs have - allegedly - misrepresented revenue data for the purpose of underpaying players.
Which - given the shadiness with which the NHL so often acts - would not exactly be a shock to anyone. Whether or not Rodier's claims hold water is for the courts to decide, but he does have a successful track record in this regard.
