No it’s really not that simple because your entire argument is based on the assumption that the league is stupid enough to make this kind of mistake, not hold anyone within their organization accountable for that despite the huge financial liability it would have created if their position were credible, and that the additional ~6% in revenue they are looking to gain somehow outweighs the risk and associated costs of litigation from the PA in the event the league did cancel the season.
I would find the league’s position far more credible if they took a different approach to resolving the matter, but their take it or leave it approach without offering anything back to the PA in exchange for doing the league a HUGE favour is a joke and reflects very poorly on the NHL and its owners.

Its a pandemic.
Industries are a mess.
I don't feel the need to call it criminal to say the league needs a further adjustment given the climate.
But you can. I'm good with that.
I provided an article that states that they over stated the chances of fans or the number of fans in their negotiations, and that wasn't good enough for you.
That's fine too.
You're pro player ... and when people dig in they're not going to be swayed, which is also fine ... don't need to sway you.
But for many of us the numbers don't add up, and given the 50/50 nature of the original pre-pandemic CBA it only makes sense to get something closer to that in order to play.
