Yup. So that's why the NHLPA is at the table right now to consider the possibility. It's a lot of money at stakes, not a couple months of meaningless hockey (from money standpoint) like timbit and others said. The NHLPA will probably have a vote on this. If they do get the majority on "yes", it will be interesting to see how they handle the dissents. There might be legal implications if they force the dissenters to play as it might be a safety issue. On the other hand, they can't have the dissenters have a free ride either. So maybe let the dissenters stay home and make them contribute more to the escrow fund?
