The grievance against the Tampa Bay Lightning, on behalf of Stephane Veilleux, has been put on hold while the NHLPA takes time to have the player review certain details. The grievance was supposed to be filed today. Per Damian Cristodero of the Lightning Strikes blog:
“The PA is still working on the grievance and they want the player to review certain portions of it, and it’s becoming quite extensive,” Walsh said. “It’s not going to change anything. They want to make sure they put something substantial into it.”
Walsh told Cristobero that he hasn’t heard from the Lightning today, and I doubt the team thought the matter would get this sort of attention when they decided not to pay for the surgery.
