NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr recommended that the union hires an outside law firm for an independent review on its handling of the Kyle Beach allegations in 2010.
Fehr made the suggestion to the roughly 80 players on an NHLPA conference call Monday. The NHLPA executive board, which consists of one representative from every team, will vote on whether to conduct a review. That vote is expected on Monday night or Tuesday morning.
The call lasted more than two hours and there was no discussion about Fehr's removal as executive director, sources told ESPN.
"Guys went on the call and just wanted more information," one player on the call told ESPN.
