John Flyers Fan said:Problem is that the IIHF has said they need an answer by January of 2005, so if there is no CBA, that would be a problem.
Gurj said:Technically no, they said that they think if the NHL is not up and running by January 2005, they don't think the NHLers will be made available.

The NHL is thinking this way, now the 04/05 season is cut in half or gone so we don't want anything to interupt the 05/06 season.

Levitate said:i don't understand why people think the olympics are only for amauters...the olympics should be about the best athletes in the world competing against each other, and the only way for that to happen in hockey is to allow NHL players to participate.
but it really should be players who WANT to be there and represent their country, and aren't just going to slack off and not play hard. (USA basketball, i'm looking in your direction).

Sure, how else would they do ?Tricolore#20 said:Suppose the lockout goes beyond February 2006. Could the national federations then simply pick the NHL players, assuming that most of them are playing in Europe to maintain their skills?
