I guess you are correct, we are currently only in a situation where the "threat" of missing games is the tactic being employed.

There is no evidence at this point that the "threat" of missing games is a tactic that has yet been employed. The hard deadline has always been the beginning of the season, and there is still a good amount of time between the end of the WCH and the first game to get a deal done. I don't think missing games becomes a tactic until a day or two before the season begins.
