No. The NHL hates doing the Olympics. They’re always looking for an out.

If I owned an NHL team I wouldn’t want any of my players competing in the Olympics. There’s no upside to any of this for an NHL team. It’s disruptive to the league schedule and puts the players at risk. And every time the NHL has sent players to the Olympics it seems like there were at least 2-3 notable players whose performance diminished considerably down the stretch and in the Stanley Cup playoffs after they returned from the Olympics.
A scenario like the 2022 Winter Olympics is also the worst of all because they are being held in Asia — which means the TV coverage of the hockey games won’t get much interest in the wee hours of the morning here in North America.
