No problems with him signing with the Canucks or Oilers.
Did you know that before the NHLPA got organized players used to retire broke, no pensions, nothing to show for their careers while owners raked it in?
If you think that the union is the reason we've had lockouts or that salaries are so high, well, I guess I have to disagree. Most people alive today don't know how things were in all industries before unionization, but it wasn't very pretty.
