If players initiated the interest in a session, I don’t have an issue with this.
However, you can understand why the rule exists.

For those not wanting to click: Canucks fined $50K because they had on-ice training sessions with some players. Studnicka and Joshua were two players named working with the Sedins.
CBA says can't allowed to do that in April with no playoffs.
Quite dumb, but alright NHL.

So, on draft lottery day, the Canucks literally owe money. Can't make this up lol.
Tochett was openly talking about it on spitting chicklets and on Halford and Brough lol

Those naughty Sedins always up to no good!
Most classless players to ever play the game.
i don't care at all that the canucks are cheating in this way but it's kind of hilarious they probably got caught because tocchet won't shut up about how the players need to train harder and if it was up to him there'd be no offseason

I mean - if it's a rule, it's a rule. I get it.
But what a stupid rule.
"We have a half dozen guys who want to work with our development coaches in their off-season" LOLNOBITCH.

It's a wolf v2.0
Just guessing, but rather than the NHL looking at it as 'cheating' this is probably something the NHLPA put into the CBA to prevent teams from coercing players into semi-official training in the off season.
It's a great idea for guys like Joshua and Studnika but the vets want their vacation/golfing time.
i just used cheating as shorthand. i think it's mostly fine that the canucks want to get more time with their players and the players want to get more instruction time
the rule exists for a good reason though:
the cba guarantees players an offseason where they aren't subject to team control with regards to practices and training etc. if teams are allowed to have "voluntary" contact with players during this period they could very easily put players in a position where they don't feel like they can take advantage of this period just by showing favour to players who do take advantage. the only real way to prevent this is a blanket ban on on-ice training sessions involving both team staff and players
The Leafs booked some flights earlier this year that knowingly violated the CBA with the full intent of paying the fine and I wonder if this was similar?
With a good owner I'd assume yes, but with Fredo probably not.

Canucks won the pre recorded lottery draft, which in turn has upset Bettman so he’s given us a random fine to soften the blow.
