All you're going to end up with is 20 players and NHLPA personnel, no management listed, and management could easily use the list of players/NHLPA to start offing people. And there are DEFINITELY executives on the players side, no doubt. If there weren't, why would Steve Fehr have been involved enough to get the first axe?

Well obviously NHLPA personnel are on the player side like Fehr would have been. If someone were to claim Bettman or the like we would probably need to take a good long look.
Right now there's about 15 who have revealed who they are. Most of which have taken pretty prominent player roles with the exception of Parros. We've had 2 players reveal their powers and everyone else has remained uncontested so far as to who they are. Maybe a management member (or more) took a gamble and is one of the players listed lying about who they are but I'd say it's much more likely that more management exist in that group of 10 or 11 people who have yet to name who they are. So it comes down to why those people haven't revealed themselves. One reason is because they are management. Another is because they have been inactive, I understand time constraints but losing an inactive player wouldn't be the worst case scenario. And then the big downside is because they have powers and don't want to reveal who they are - but like I said most players revealed are pretty prominent.
I'm definitely going to be taking a note of who hasn't told who they are, for whatever reason, and especially if they come in and "reveal" themselves to be 3rd line wingers with 100 games played.
