I'd suggest something like no All Star game in Olympic years.

That's a big fail on the union, actually. The NHL had already made it clear that it wanted out of the Olympics before the last lockout. The players secured an agreement for 2014, but failed to do so for 2018 and 2022. But they might have been hoping that either the league was outright bluffing, or that the IOC and IIHF would cave without them having to give anything up.
