The headlines are misleading on this as its an injury forced retirement just like Lupul. So he gets his cash and Lu gets space. I am waiting for Leddy or Ladd to slip on a bar of soap next. I honestly wonder how the league can keep allowing this. Smid wasnt medically cleared to play in the NHL, and has played 3 years in the KHL. Or lupul calling out Lu and his LTIR https://www.sportsnet.ca/...afs-instagram-says-cheat/

The league will not say anything because it will affect Toronto more than any other team in the league.
As for Leddy, he is a tradeable chip, whereas Boychuk's contact would have cost additional sweeteners. picks and prospects. No need to move Leddy now.
Ladd has bad knees, he is a candidate for Bridgeport at best. Only way he goes LTIR is if doctor deems he reconstructed knees unhealthy.
Not quite sure where the foul play is that you are eluding too is. Maybe on Toronto's side yes but not the Islanders.
