I understand and somewhat agree with you, but what does the team get out of that type of situation. They have committed $10M per season for a player to perform. Because he is injured and doesn't like the CBA agreed upon medical situation he opts out, gets the surgery he wants and becomes a free agent, the team gets nothing. So why would the member teams of the NHL agree to that clause?
