I faintly recall there being precedent to a similar scenario but I can't recall the team or player.

Realistically, it isn’t something a team is going to do if a player can produce. Because that wouldn’t make sense. But, healthy scratches are a thing… it sounds insane to me that the NHLPA could pipe up about a teams lineup. I don’t understand what grounds they would even have.
