They're allowed to ask for whatever ridiculous number they want, and USA hockey in return is allowed to fire them and hire replacement players.

Again, it is not just realizing the market. USA Hockey is legally obligated to provide 'equitable' funding between the men's and women's programs.
That said, the players are hurting their cause by allowing the debate to be focused on wages rather than the entire laundry list of issues they feel requires addressing.
