I wonder how fellow union member Shane Doan feels? He specifically held off signing with the Coyotes before they could assure him that they weren't moving to Quebec.

Saturday, the president of the Players' Association (NHLPA), Donald Fehr, said a team like the Phoenix Coyotes was one of the main causes of the current labor dispute in the NHL.

Guillaume Latendresse, Ottawa Senators, and Mathieu Darche, who is still without a contract, abounded in the same direction Monday when faced by TVA Sports.

"As a player, it is certain that it is more fun to play in front of 15 000 - 20 000 people in Quebec, for example, before 4000 in Phoenix, said Latendresse.

"No matter how income is distributed, and even if the income is the same, I think it's better for the league, for the fans and for the players."

For its part, Darche wonder why the NHL wants to keep some teams in the Southern United States.

"If every year we support teams who have difficulty when there are more interesting markets in Canada and the northern United States, why continue to lose money?"

The main cause of the lockout?

The President of the Players' Association (NHLPA), Donald Fehr, has led to this idea in an interview with the newspaper of Toronto, "The Globe and Mail," Saturday.

"If a team in a city" A "can do much better in town" B ", why we do not move it?, He said, making an obvious reference to the Coyotes.

"The fact is that this team is one of the causes of the dispute. The Atlanta Thrashers moved to Winnipeg (Jets) and the organization has no problems. This is a good example. "

According to Fehr, NHL just will not admit his wrongs keeping the Coyotes in Glendale.

"My understanding of things is that the NHL is set in the southern United States to develop the U.S. market at a national level and have a bigger TV contract, he analyzed.

"There are many people who believe that this strategy has failed. From the perspective of the players, we want a healthy league with many teams we have now. "
