and? so long as they have fulfilled the terms of their contract, why shouldnt they be allowed to sit out and wait for a deal that makes sense for them?
are they not entititled to not play hockey if they dont want to?
i am not saying guys with contracts should hold out, but guys who are without contracts can choose to wait. as a basic human right, if they dont want to participate, thats their business.
once again i ask, are they our modern day gladiators or is it just that they get paid so much, we think they should entertain us even if they dont want to?
