The Stanley Cup finals saw the Vegas Golden Knights emerge as the superior team, playing with a commendable effort by fielding all four lines against a fatigued Florida Panthers squad.
Despite Bruce Cassid's team facing several injuries throughout the season, he managed to transform them into a formidable force, and now, in the post-season, justice seems to be on their side.
One NHL team has raised concerns about LTIR circumvention with regard to Mark Stone. This may result in Gary Bettman's favored team facing disciplinary action, a rarity for them.
Furthermore, it appears that other teams were not pleased with the timing of Mark Stone's return, as it seemed too convenient. This echoes concerns long held by NHL fans about the Tampa Bay Lightning, Nikita Kucherov, and others.
The question now is whether the NHLPA will hold the league and teams accountable, or if Marty Walsh will choose to do nothing.
