Rob Becker mentioned this the other day, the NHL named players that would cover all scenarios (signed, UFA, RFA, ELC etc...), including drafted players who are not in the NHL but would become members of the union eventually, to ensure the judge would be forced to rule on them and have them be included in the final decision. The NBA made this mistake when they did the same thing and omitted a few types of players. Didn't matter in the end, but clearly the NHL has done their homework and are ready to take this on from all angles.tim1_2 wrote:We've probably mentioned this before, but what is Shane Prince's role in these negotiations? Is he the representative for the drafted guys still in Junior or what? He's named, along with the other team reps, in the lawsuit on page 2.
