The NHL could get the pants sued off them if they had the RCL's trademark on their franchise's jerseys without permission. I am guessing that if they could do it for free, it would already have been done.
I would guess that the issue has been bargained for behind closed doors, and the Legion probably expects a high price from such a high-profile, profitable business. And I don't blame them for trying to raise some money by doing so. It would be interesting to know what kind of offers have been made / declined, etc, but we'll probably never know that stuff.
But this is all entirely speculation/guesswork on my part.
However, if the public starts putting pressure on the NHL, then it might force the RCL to accept a reasonable price if the headlines change from "Bettman says no to poppies on Nov 11" to "RCL turns down $X,000,000 offer from NHL for poppy rights."
