Based on the information currently out about this, I'd have to agree with you. This really doesn't have anything to do with the NHL. Let the Great One continue on coaching, don't let reporters bug him about it, and just let the police handle it.
I know what you're saying, but do you really think they can keep this sort of thing out of the NHL, and Gretzky's future?? The media will make it an issue because it's a juicy topic!!
