From Dan Wood of the Orange County Register:

Ducks co-owner Henry Samueli has been suspended indefinitely from any involvement with the team and the NHL, commissioner Gary Bettman announced Tuesday.

The amount of negative press the NHL has received recently is frightening. Samueli has done a great job turning the Ducks around along with Brian Burke, as the league stated; however, the NHL could not overlook Samueli’s plea agreement (especially with all the recent troubles of William Del Biaggio) and had to take a serious course of action.
