Unfortunately, that's probably not true. Litigation only occurs when there is a cause of action to pursue. That is, the issues must be "ripe" for adjudication or the lawsuit would be dismissed. The most likely cause of action here would be trademark infringement, which will only happen when NHL enters products into the stream of commerce.

The mere fact that NHL made this deal with Purple Haze (PH) does not give rise to litigation. Only when they start distributing products bearing Jimi Hendrix's likeness or other protected wordmarks and IP owned and managed by Experience Hendrix (EH) will there be a lawsuit filed... against NHL and Purple Haze. 

The one (and unlikely) exception would be if either EH or PH sued affirmatively to establish a precedent. EH could sue to injuct (block) PH from making any such deals, or PH could sue to establish its rights to make such deals and to injunct EH from interfering with any such deals made. But this approach is not likely.
