Never going to happen, not in the real world, but the NHL refusing to air any alcohol advertisements during broadcasts would be something good that could come out of this...

Yet a handful of NHL owners (Bruins and Canadiens for two) owe their fortune to alcohol sales.

So, I cannot see the owners collectively pushing for an alcohol ban.

(The NHLPA and many teams offer "free" transportation for players so they don't have to drink and drive.)

welp we don't have to worry about Edmonton winning a cup once our window opens back up. They just signed themselves into cap hell.
Eh. I don't like him much...he's overrated. I think Edmonton is making a mistake having him as their #2. But if he's as good as many believe, then he's hands-down worth that contract. May hurt in years 5+, but the cap is also set to jump.

The real problem isn't the star players, but everyone else. Nurse, Campbell, etc. One has to wonder if someone like Bouchard is worth keeping.
