He WILL lock them out if a contract isn't settled by season start. Too much risk of a strike during mid season, which leaves them vulnerable and costs them a lot with their networks and arena contracts.
I'm sure the P.A has been helping all their members structure lock-out protected contracts. It's no coincidence that a lot of them are carrying them.
