Ok now I see, I read it wrong. The only problem I see is there's no authority granted in the CBA for the NHL to make such an exemption. There are specific conditions where exemptions can be made, but that's not one of them. Unless language can be found to the effect that the commissioner can exempt players at his discretion it's still an issue.
