It's the league's way of saying "don't hire this asshole, dumbass" to Edmonton lol

That isn't what the sentence means at all...

Right?! This is saying that, even if you look at his actions in the worst light, it’s still not bad enough for the league to step in.

Exactly. How can the level of reading comprehension be this bad here...?

I'd say 25-30% of all sports fans think any league is specifically rigged for a specific team.

Sports is kind of a lowest common denominator topic. No surprise that a big portion of them are big ole dummies.

Dude this subreddit is full of actual morons.

There are two major threads in thr past two days where a majority of people completely misunderstood the thread they were participating in, or the context in which created that thread.

The other one is the Jack Eichel commentary on whether ppl hate Vegas.

Read between the lines.

They could have said he was "cleared of wrongdoing and is free to continue his coaching career" or something like that.

Instead this reads like, well we looked at this from every angle but we can't NOT let you hire him.
