Yeah, so much so that their participation was omitted entirely from one of their last CBA negotiations and they didn't go.
I wouldnt go so far as to say that nobody cares, but I think its over estimated, I'd wager that these guys' #1 priority is still their NHL team.
And after the memo they got that their hotels are going to suck and the rinks aren't even finished yet? At the moment this is looking more and more like a 2nd rate tournament.
