If they forfeit their NHL salary and any future NHL salary if they get injured, i'm sure if they they really wanted to go, some teams may let them. Doubt they're willing to do that though.
I want the NHL in the Olympics as a fan, but the NHL is a business and that's just the way it is. Players should have fought for the Olympics in their collective bargaining agreement if it was that important to them.
