Panthers, Jets must decide if they, too, need to win at all costs

If one thing was proven abundantly clear about the 2010 Chicago Blackhawks management team and coaching staff, it was that winning, and maybe more importantly opening up a championship revenue stream, was more important than being decent.

Now two other NHL front offices have to make the same prioritization in the fallout from the explosive and upsetting announcement delivered Tuesday from law firm Jenner & Block.

After previously denying they had any knowledge of the incident involving disgraced former video coach and felon Bradley Aldrich, the independent investigation into the matter revealed that both Joel Quenneville, the current head coach of the Florida Panthers, and Kevin Cheveldayoff, now the Winnipeg Jets general manager, were well aware of the allegations at the time.
