The League’s investigation found no evidence that Pinto made any wagers on NHL games

Interesting that the punishment was so long

Based on this, I am speculating this was a case of him providing insider information to someone else betting on NHL games. I read somewhere (can't find it again) that players are allowed to bet on non NHL games.

Proxy bettor reads to me as someone else betting for him on NHL games, which would be even worse than leaking info.

I wonder if the NHLPA are going to fight this one.

I would consider this a rule from the days when sports betting was not legal by and large, but that's no longer the case. I would hope they fight it too.
