"What is very clear is that this is a disciplinary measure that comes directly from the Chicago Blackhawks.
When you say he will be kept away from the team in the near future, and you are in a position where he then releases his own official statement saying he is taking time with his loved ones for personal reasons, the truth is that the Blackhawks have taken the step of deciding to keep him away from the team. So, I don't know how it's going to end, I don't know where it's going, but these two things can happen.
You can take time away for personal reasons, and you can also have been told to stay away at the same time.
So, it doesn't look good, but I don't know enough to start speculating on what it is. Is it a missed curfew? Does it have to do with alcohol? Is it more serious than that? I don't know at the moment."
