The owners get to sit on their profits for a bit until they pay it back out. In the case of going into a massive loss of revenue again, it doesn’t hurt the players paychecks until the following year.

If the NHLPA really cared about the business, they would discourage their members from refusing to play in some markets. It hurts the product and creates negative press for the league as a whole when it happens.
