Insider Reveals How The NHL Is Dealing With The Four Players
NHL insider Frank Seravalli revealed on social media just how Gary Bettman and the NHL is handling the players that may be involved in the WJC scandal.
Subject to change, but my understanding of the current situation for the 4 #NHL players who have taken leave of absence:
- Will continue to be paid.
- Continue to count against the salary cap.
- Do not count against the roster limit (e.g. non-roster status).

Now like Seravalli says it is subject to change as more information comes to light. The London Police are holding a press conference on February 5th about the situation.
The NHL will need to ride a very fine line with this situation as these players are innocents until proven otherwise.
