This is not the first but hopefully will be the last time we hear the NHL say that an announcement is coming soon. The individuals affected by the players involved deserve the closure of seeing the players held accountable.
What Comes After The Announcement?
According to sources, the players implicated once announced will be swiftly suspended by the NHL. This likely means we will see an announcement before the start of the NHL season.
This would allow teams to go into the season with clarity on their player's eligibility. It would also bring closure to the situation as far as the NHL is concerned and the questions would likely slow down. This is not something the NHL will want hanging over the league heading into yet another year.
