Who cares if it sucks? Thats the deal!

In fairness, they probably have escrow withheld from their pay the same as taxes and other withholdings rather than being forced to write a cheque at the end of the year.

But how it happens is irrelevant, its the 'why' thats important and the 'why' is that the NHLPA just blindly uses their escalator every year.
