1. The NHL code of conduct permits legal betting on sports other than hockey. The NHL prohibits ILLEGAL betting which is what is being investigated.
2. All we have to do is look at the BIG 10 point shaving scandal of the 90's.( I think there was fraternity involved but that is another story). The basketball players were betting on football with their "own" money. They lost big. When it came time to pay their debts they didn't have the money. Illegal bookmakers don't do credit checks like casinos. The players ended up shaving points to pay their debts.

yeah you are right on the NHL, the gambling ring was illegal.
