Like I said, if the NHLPA isn't all over this, it has no legitimacy as a union. This is exactly the kind of thing it's set up to prevent.

I generally agree with you.
Notwithstanding the actual specifics of the "who" and "what" involved in this case, the fact that the NHL basically operates as a cartel makes such moves worrisome. The NHLPA should be looking to preserve the rights of its players regardless of the supposed importance of the event or the quality of the player.
