I've generally discounted the idea that the investigation would be a reason to hold up a Lauri trade, as I couldn't see the angle of why this deal would be a problem. But this does make sense. Chicago has already traded away so many future picks ('23 and '25 firsts and every second rounder through 2025) that there's not many left for the league to take away. Even if the return in a LM deal just a few second round picks, I can see why they'd let the league act first.
