Even when Keenan treated him like crap after the San Jose series, and threw him under the bus, he bit his lip, went fishing, and came back.
Kipper can do whatever he wants, even if the return was Edmonton's next 3 1st rounders. Love Iggy, but the man who has been committed way more is Kipper. He's done a lot for this city and team in a quiet and humble manor, and deserves to do whatever.
Let the man walk into the sunset on his own terms. Save the "He a pro being paid big bucks, so suck it up" for the Dion's and Kane's of the world.

Why can he "do what he wants"? Cause he's a good hockey player? Cause he's a dad? Lots of good hockey players and Dad's in this league. Is it cool for them not to honor their GUARANTEED contracts or also manipulate their teams options by outing that you'll refuse to report if traded?
If this was an Oilers player this forum would be ripe with "haha Stupid Oilers" comments, and if a player the Flames wanted in a trade refused to report here people would be spewing venom out. But it's Kipper, I guess it must be different
