The NHLPA want to have their cake and eat it too. They want to go to the Olympics but they dont want to offer anything in exchange.
The Olympic(IOC)/NHL deal was terrible and the IOC endeavoured to make it worse and when the NHL tried to improve their lot all the PA did was make things worse and then, after the NHL told the IOC to pound sand all the PA did was stamp their feet and whine. The only thing they didnt do was pound their fists at the same time to round out the tantrum.
