Yup. The NHLPA is caught in the middle on this one too. They would obviously like to have things both ways. The players no doubt want to go to the Olympics, but an NHL/NHLPA controlled World Cup means more income for the players. If they are forced to choose between one or the other, I suspect they will go World Cup.
