The problem was the IOC started this whole thing by saying they weren't going to pay for the insurance (which they had in the past). So the NHL owners got together to evaluate how NHL players going to the Olympics in the middle of their season benefitted them. They decided it didn't at all, and said no thank you. Then the IOC backpeddled and said "whoa whoa okay we will pay the insurance", but it was too late.
