Well at it's basis, the NHLPA is an organization to fight for player's rights. If it allowed something like this to go through it would be doing a disservice to its members.

If the teams aren't willing to invest a max contract then the players can go elsewhere but if the team wants the player a rookie shouldn't be able to choose to go somewhere else or re-enter the draft.
As for JG there is no need to worry until he goes back for his senior year. If that happens I will be very concerned.
