NHL fears Fehr itself
"The combination of restrictions proposed by the NHL leading into and throughout the lockout is designed to limit the impact of free agency and funnel players toward teams they might not consider given a full plate of options.
Yet there is the NHL in Paragraph 62 suggesting every player in the league become a free agent if the NHLPA were permitted to disclaim or decertify.
“[Existing] contracts ...[would be] void and unenforcable by law,” in the league’s own words.
Goodbye Columbus!
And wouldn’t it just be grand if, under universal free agency, not a single player would choose to sign with Jeremy Jacobs’ Bruins?" |
There will only be so many jobs and even fewer high paying ones. If the choice is to sign in Boston or work as a Walmart greater, players will sign in Boston.
