They are actually making less when you take the AAV into account.
Guys in the middle are making easily double what they made.
Guys at the bottom are making around 3-4 times more.
180,000 min in 2004 to 650,000 today.
I don't know how you could miss the point. It's pretty obvious.
The NHLPA clearly isn't about the top players getting more and more.

Wrong. Your oversimplifying your narrative to support your hopes & dreams.
The NHL won the lockout. Why did you select salary before the lockout? Before the NHLPA took a rollback. Why does the NHLPA continually vote for the escalator if it doesn't care about maximizing player salary. You either didn't make or ignored these points.
The NHLPA wants as many teams as possible at the cap. The Oilers spend to the cap, the Jets don't. You think the NHLPA doesn't care if Laine gives the Jets a bargain deal next off season if he follows McDavid?
Any water your argument holds doesn't make the point that the NHLPA will maximize player salary all the time, every time & organizes player agents to carry this out.
The sweet heart deal John Tavares signed for an inept management group didn't go unnoticed. He lost out on millions.
