Dolan sucks!!!
Lets say the NHL decides to go in the replacement player direction,will the individual teams force their players under NHL/AHL contracts to participate in replacement hockey?If the NHL starts play in October and the AHL players are part of the roster,will they refuse to participate in replacement hockey?Can they refuse the assignment?Are they not going to report to training camp?
Will the Jason LaBarbera's of the AHL with two way contracts be part of replacement hockey?
Will the prospects under a two way deal be part of replacement hockey?
As far as the problem with acquiring visas for replacement players,those players with American or Canadian passports do not require a visa to play in their own country.How many American and Canadian players play in Europe during a normal NHL season?Why can't those players be replacement players?When the lockout ends,the replacement players are free to go to Europe to replace the NHLers who have agreed to play in Europe during the lockout.Another group of players are the American and Canadian players who have played college hockey for an American or Canadian university/college in the recent past few seasons and are not playing any professional hockey.The NHL does not need to worry about replacement players from Europe being denied visas because there are enough North American players for replacement hockey.Every year,there are many undrafted college players looking to hook on with an NHL team.As an incentive,the NHL could pay good money for players to be replacement players
Of course,there will be NHLers crossing the line and reporting to camp.Paging Mike Modano
The NHLPA can see their union broken up or they can play ball with the NHL
