NHL can not stop the season but I don't how they can stop players from going.
If a team let their players breach contracts and play in other tourneys the NHL could take action against the team. And no, it's not like scratching them.

If Washington let Ovechkin go, they'd better let any other player on their team go as well. Then let them field a team of AHlers.
