I'm interested in the NHL's take. On the one hand, they would like to decrease players' power which would include more termination rights. On the other hand, they don't want cap circumvention. If the Kings win, how many more terminations can they expect?

I'm going to guess that the NHL probably doesn't want to end up exposing a bunch of players' misconduct publicly just so teams can dump their contracts. I'm sure there's much worse things floating around than Oxycotin. Part of the NHL's revenue comes from the marketability of its players.
