I think it's fair to say that's not what they signed up for.
Ultimately yes they should be asked, but the more that refuse, the less meaningful the whole idea is.

Isn’t it clear I said the players should be able to choose? It is precisely because the situation is not what they signed up for that the NHLPA has so much power in what happens next. The players and owners agreed to share in hockey related revenues so there is a financial impact to all parties.
Seems like too people want to make the decision for them based on their own values and with an extremely limited set of information.
The players are extremely fortunate to have such power and so many choices. No one signed up for their job expecting a crisis event and I have tremendous sympathy for those who don’t have the same options. How many members of the military are away from their families right now?
