The NHL is reviewing eligibility of five players acquitted in a 2018 case, with no guarantee of contracts despite ongoing league suspension and team interest.

- This ongoing review implies the players remain barred from NHL play for now, keeping broader issues of justice and hockey culture under public scrutiny.
