If Kipper refuses to play for anyone elese even though his contract says he should, he's in violation.

There's nothing in Kiprusoff's contract forcing him to play or compelling him to not retire mid season. It's the player's option whether or not to show up each day and as long as he's willing to not be paid, he can retire at any moment while fulfilling the terms of his deal.
