The NHLPA says it hasn't seen a lawsuit reportedly filed by the parents of the late Derek Boogaard seeking $9.8M from the union.

TMZ reported Friday that Boogaard's family is suing to collect the $4.8M remaining on the contract for their son, who died last year, and an additional $5M in punitive damages.

The suit says the players' association failed to take proper steps to help them receive the money left on Boogaard's deal with the Rangers when he died May 13, 2011, from a mixture of drugs and alcohol.
