In all honesty, do you think NHL players really won't play in the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia?

The Olympics is about playing the best, and the NHL has no right to deny other countries their best players. If this is ped I'll be SHOCKED. Bettman said "it's a strain on the players" let them make that decision if they don't want to play they don't have to, so it's really none of his business.
