Chris Chelios is upset and he won't have it any other way.  Recently, he told the Toronto Sun that he was concerned about Ted Saskin, head of the NHLPA union, breaking promises to the players.  He also told the Toronto Sun about a petition circulating through the NHL asking Ted Saskin to resign. Alledgedly, sources told the press that there were 30 side agreements of the Collective Bargaining Agreement that the players weren't informed about. Chelios believes that these "secret side deals" might hurt player salaries. 

"That's taking $90 million out of the market place for players," Chelios said to the press. "That lowers the market for everyone. That's going to hurt our marquee players. It's contradicting the deal we agreed to".

He is also upset about Saskin's portrayal of hockey players as not being savvy or being prone to manipulation as to contract matters.  "He's (Saskin) far more educated than us, he can dance around any player."  Now Chelios would like to hire a team of lawyers to investigate the matter. 

Chelios is also upset that the annual PA meeting is in Whistler, BC in July.  He referred to Whistler as an obscure place.  "Most players won't go. I think he set up to discourage as many people as possible from going."

Maybe he thought it would be in Miami Beach.
