Mark Stone's placement on LTIR until the conclusion of the Stanley Cup Playoffs has previously raised doubts about the Golden Knights' tactics. Unlike Stone, Patrick has not played a game in the 2022-2023 NHL season.

The ongoing spotlight on LTIR practices calls for transparency and adherence to NHL regulations to ensure fair competition.
