The fact that owners are trying to clawback contracts (some of them being signed only days prior the the owners' lockout) is one of the major issues the players have with the league. It shows how dishonest and underhanded the owners are and the lack of good faith they show when dealing with players. The players stand for the principles of honesty and integrity, and are disgusted when they see what these owners try to do to them. People like to talk about replacement players, maybe instead it is time for replacement owners...
It's more like it is time to hand out some dunce caps. The owners provide the infrastructure for the league. Without the owners there is no NHL.
The players are replaceable. How do I know? Every year new ones show up and some of the ones that were in the league the year before are not there anymore.
This work stoppage has damaged the players participating in it for more than it ever will the owners. Fehr should look at the people that he is representing and start asking himself if he is acting in their best interest. His clients are losing millions of dollars that they will never see again.
