Mark Scheifele investing in the Penticton Vees WHL franchise raises some interesting questions. Is this a trend of current NHL players investing in junior hockey? Could this lead to potential conflicts of interest down the road? What kind of influence will Scheifele have on the Vees organization, and will it be positive or negative for player development? Some might argue this gives the Vees an unfair advantage in recruiting, while others may see it as a valuable mentorship opportunity for young players. How do you think this ownership stake will impact the WHL landscape? Does this make the Vees an instant contender? Let's hear your thoughts.
