Most of the big changes seem to benefit the owners, not the players, especially when it comes to contracts and long-term earnings.

This feels like a poor deal for the NHLPA

Shorter training camps are a benefit to the players. They're trading off four fewer meaningless preseason games for 2 more revenue-generating regular season games.
