There's been a major announcement in the NHL today, as not only did major NHL stars make way to new teams, some big names were reinstated today.
Former Chicago Blackhawks head coach Joel Quenneville, GM Stan Bowman, and Al Macisaac have been reinstated.
The last two years, the three haven't been able to seek employment in the NHL due to the investigation with the 2010 Stanley Cup team, and the incident with Kyle Beach.
Both Quenneville and Bowman have paid their dues according to Bettman and the NHL, as they acknowledged their response at the time in 2010 was unacceptable for what had occurred.
All three have been working on bettering themselves during their time away from the league, but shown they are remorseful and taken part in activities which show that the are worthy of a leadership role in the NHL once again.
