The NHLPA and NBAPA would be furious if star players started doing this en masse. That act would entirely undermine their entire efforts and all players salaries as a whole.

Both guys you have mentioned also have mitts full of championship rings. Neither needs to win another championship to secure legacy.
Contrarily, it is looking more likely every year that Draisaitl and McDavid will not win. They came uncomfortably close last year but both have since made moves that make repeating less likely, fortunately!
