But the NHLPA doesn't give a crap about Joe 1.25 million, or Bob 2 million, or Jyrki minimumwageo.

I don't believe that at all.
2003–04 season
Peter Forsberg (Colorado Avalanche) $11 million
Jaromir Jagr (Washington Capitals) $11 million
Sergei Fedorov (Mighty Ducks of Anaheim) $10 million
Nicklas Lidstrom (Detroit Red Wings) $10 million
Keith Tkachuk (St. Louis Blues) $10 million
2017-18
Patrick Kane (Chicago Blackhawks) $13.8 million
Jonathan Toews (Chicago Blackhawks) $13.8 million
Jamie Benn (Dallas Stars) $13 million
Anze Kopitar (Los Angeles Kings) $13 million
Shea Weber (Montreal Canadiens) $12 million
That's the top 5 salaries in 03/04 compared to the top 5 in 17/18.
If the NHLPA has been about the top guys getting more and more, they have failed miserably.
The NHL middle and bottom roster guys have made out like bandits since the salary cap took effect.
