When the NHL and NHLPA worked to complete last season, only 5 players were on the Return-To-Play Committee (RTP). This time the players have formed a much larger group with 16 players on it.

The challenge for Chris Kreider and the other players will be to work out the financial aspect and sell the NHLPA on them.
