Im guessing some do and some dont.
Guys with families less likely to want to, guys without them more willing. They aren't some homogenous group.
And you say its "their job", which is true but also with the understanding that their health is not at risk because of whats happening off the ice surface.
The PA will have a vote en masse, so if its "only the guys not making the playoffs" then it should be a landslide to want to come back. I think it will be very much close to 50/50 at best.
