Hockey players are people, with human emotions and needs. A lot of fans at this time of year break down things like trades, cutting losses, etc. like they are trading stocks. It would be different if we were talking about a guy like Comeau or Babchuk, but in Kiprusoff you have a club legend, a guy who has been a cornerstone of this team for years, and to throw him away without regard for his personal situation is cold-blooded.
In the non-Hockey world, a lot of people place an emphasis on the reputation of their prospective employers when they are faced with multiple options, and many place an emphasis on the employer that treats their employees the fairest - do you think hockey players are any different?
