Fanhouse features an excellent article about the current troubles of a select group of NHL owners, and wonders if the NHL is doing enough due diligence in examining membership applications to it’s exclusive club.

But when you look at what some NHL owners have done in recent days, you begin to wonder what in the world the selection process to become one entails. I imagine it’s got a lot more to do with sweet talking NHL HQ and having the appearance of riches than what your management principles and moral values are.

Illegal Curve acknowledges the fact that examining every facet of a multi-millionaire’s life is tough, but the more these allegations come out, the more one wonders if there is some truth to the rumour that the NHL is not interested in additional Canadian teams.
