Here’s my issue with it:
Hypothetically, if Zach Werenski walked into the CBJ front office tomorrow and demanded a trade to Florida because he only wanted to reunite with Seth Jones and chase a Stanley Cup, would everyone be celebrating it as “player empowerment”?
He has a full NMC. He has leverage.
He hasn’t made the playoffs since the bubble.
So what’s stopping him from doing it?
At some point, this stops being player empowerment and starts looking a lot more like a transfer portal, where contracts don’t matter and the competitive balance takes a back seat to the leagues top players handpicking their next destination.
Larkin has every right to limit the teams that DET can negotiate with and use his contract to that advantage. But Yzerman has every right to say "Look, we couldn't work out a deal. See you in September and we'll try again at the deadline. Unless, you know, you want to throw a few more teams on the list."
This is ruining the league… requests trade to a team in the Stanley Cup Finals, the team that’s won it back-to-back years, or a team clearly going for it after trading for Quinn Hughes.
If you request a trade, you’re no-trade clause should be officially void.
If you're a hockey team that's looking for to bring in a head coach, you know you've found the right guy if you hafta ask the players' union to see if you're even allowed to hire him.

My friend and attorney Chad Hatmaker, who has experience in eligibility cases, summed up Sorsby ruling well. “This might be the case that actually generates real reform. That’s absolutely ridiculous. If you have an illness as an employee, you don’t get to break the rules because of it. An alcoholic can’t come to work drunk without getting fired.”
