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.

They care about maximizing player salary.
I was debating the point that they are all about the top players. They clearly aren't.
If the NHLPA was all about getting the top players paid, there would probably be more than ZERO guys in the NHL making the max salary.
And we probably would have heard about some desire by the NHLPA to raise the max contract.
Neither of these things have happened.
