Broken NHL System Is Fueling Tampering Talk

Another day, another Original Six club grumbling that the NHL’s system is not built for clean lines and clean hands. This story points to tampering accusations, which is usually what happens when teams think the rules lag behind the reality of how business gets done. Around the league, people notice when the paper trail and the phone calls do not quite match up. The league may call it process, but the frustrated clubs are treating it like a loophole with skates on.
