I'm a little surprised at how "short but sweet" the opinion is. The argument [arbitrator Richard Bloch] makes -- or I guess the one he accepts -- is pretty much exactly the one I laid out ("The League's Case"), but it's interesting how simply the whole thing lays out, and how much the NHLPA hung their whole case on the letter/spirit dichotomy. It sums up like this:
NHLPA: The CBA doesn't explicitly say you can't do this.
Arbitrator: True.
NHLPA: So we're done here.
Arbitrator: False.
NHLPA: But that's all we've got.
Arbitrator: Okay, now we're done.

I know this is a bit late, but...
There was more to it than that. Not just “NHLPA: The CBA doesn’t explicitly say you can’t do this.”, but also “and you also let half a dozen other teams do it over the last few years.” Then the NHL’s response was “So what? We can be as hypocritical as we want.”
