If the league and their legal team are going forward with this, it is because they have a legitimate legal issue they feel requires adjudication. This is about business and legalities. What people want as fans is irrelevant. And, as I also noted in the other thread, I think the NHL presents good arguments that the arbitrator overstepped his bounds - that is something the league cannot idly allow without challenge.

And it's also a waste of money.
