I don't think anyone here actually knows what its like being a professional athlete/millionaire flying to different cities with your teammates as part of your job, but in general a lot of this depends on the individuals personality type. The most accurate description of an extrovert vs an introvert is that one finds social interaction energizing while the other finds it draining. So being an introvert doesn't mean you dislike social interaction but more that you can only take so much of it and 'cooping up in a hotel room playing Fortnite' is how you unwind.
Now it's a problem if guys are staying up till 4:00am playing games on a game night, and it can be complicated enforcing that kind of curfew. Otherwise it feels like a kneejerk over reaction to the game that just happens to be popular at the moment... and as someone who doesn't play this kind of games I'm not really sure what makes it so different from League of Legends/Counter Strike/World of Warcraft/etc etc, all the addicting multiplayer games that have come before it. The focus on fortnite is starting to feel like one of those DnD/Satan-type media panics.
People are mentally involved. Get up crush out a few games, do some quests, whatever your game does. Running late so rush to work/training etc. Think about the game while at work. Rush home, start playing. The game dominates thinking of some addicts. I've seen it. Take the game away, they get irritable. A few games to wind down isn't a problem, it is when they get to the stage of thinking about the game all the time. These guys are being paid millions to be focused on hockey.
If a person loves gaming and they can't put their game away for a week or two and not think about it, maybe they should put their game away for a week or two until they can. A good challenge for anyone - I've done it on a few occasions just to remind myself who's the boss when I think I'm playing too much.
The other, overlooked, reason I think the team might be better off on the road without gaming: this team stinks. They are going to need each other to deal with the crap this year will bring. They are going to need to have some fun together off the ice because there won't be much on it. A depressing year isn't going to be helped by people just disappearing of to play their favourite game. I get the communal games, taking turns playing, that's more about hanging out together having a laugh.
