And more importantly, even if there was nothing you could do, you still have to file correctly. And I would venture to say you could could the number of players who could file in both countries, on their own, with your fingers.
No, I mean they are employees by the legal term as defined by the CRA. Therefore, they get a T4. Their team is the employer.

Please, do tell how an employee defers income, considering that it's a surefire bet that the employer is remitting payroll tax every two weeks.

Also, I see no reason why they would get a W2 from the USA.

If they are an American working in Canada, then they do have to report that income to the USA.
