NHLPA is in a tough spot. Objectively, they probably should back out. However, I'm not sure they want to risk the negative fan reaction if they do that, and the top level players in the league are getting paid.
In these things I'm usually 100% pro players, but I'm really not sure how they can opt out at this point.
