It's easy to forget that NHL players are real people with real families. I understand they're very well compensated, for the most part, but I'm certain that their significant others/children wouldn't be particularly happy about having to leave their homes for what could be an extended period, to go live in a hotel in Edmonton.
Another thing to consider is the health of their families. Obviously most players are in fantastic physical shape, and may be better suited to fight off illness, but their families may not be. I know for example TJ Brodie's wife has MS; I'm sure there are plenty of others with compromised immune systems. It's one thing to risk your own health, but It's completely different to risk your family's health
