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.

Obviously I get the business part, hence one of the reasons why they're not going. The players should have negotiated that into their last agreement. However, my point still stands. The best players in the world should be going. Otherwise the Olympics isn't the showcase of the best.
