It is no different then a player during regular time saying "Oh we are not going to make it so I am not playing out the rest of the season, I can spend that time with my family" The Pandemic is just a poor excuse to get away with it. They signed a contract to play the regular season, play the regular season or get suspended without pay.

Oh boy.
First -
hockey ain't essential.
Second - I think it's awful that you are framing the pandemic as a "poor excuse to get away with it".
Yes they signed a contract - but who cares. This is an unprecedented crisis for humanity. A little bit of empathy would go a long way.
Eff hockey until things get back to normal, or the new normal.
