Lets say the IIHF comes out next week and says players that want to come can come. The NHL simply gets a judge to rule that they can't, they have signed a contract to play in the NHL during that period. They won't be eligible to play as that is breach of contract. They are not going. I am sure Ovi will go on about how disappointed he is and how wrong it is but he isn't going if the NHL says he isn't.

Haha you don't actually believe this do you?
A judge is going to stop a player from getting on a plane to South Korea?
