It's actually very logical. Kipper is paid millions of dollars a year more than the lowest paid goalie in the NHL because he performs a job that is considered to be worth that much. So his absence will cause his employers enough to make a strong argument for undue hardship: Meaning the Flames likely don't have to accomodate Kipper like other businesses do when employees apply for parental leave.
