Maybe the league should go to them and tell them that the revenue situation isn't good with Arizona right now and maybe they will just fold the team. Say goodbye to 23 NHL salaries and 30 minor league players, see how the players feel about that. This players association does nothing to help players, nothing to protect the ones who need it (check out all the things they gave up for rookies/first contracts over the years) and only care about the top 10% of wage earners.

Back to 31 teams? What is this, 2021?
or
3200 seat arena? What is this, 1924?
The PA hasn't said anything yet (at least not publicly). The PA being a mess doesn't mean they can't be upset about boneheaded decisions by their partner.
