What are you giving us in return for this?

I wasn't suggesting they would or would not - I was just explaining why I don't think it's bad for the players.
BUT....
Why wouldn't the NHLPA want them? They are a way of making the revenue split work in their favor. Let's say the NHL stays at a 50/50 split - compliance buyouts make it so that the money some players are paid remains outside that split - so in effect its 49 owners 51 players (just an example).
OT: Can you imagine employee costs at 50% of your overall revenue in any other business, no wonder a drink at a game costs so much.
