Just because it's common practice in the profession doesn't mean it's obligated. If he still wanted to be paid not to report, that's a different story. The only reason people are freaking out about this is because they view Kipper as an asset, not a person. If this team was the #1 seed in the conference, with Kipper playing at Vezina-calibre, and ownership wanted to ship him out because he banged Edwards' daughter or something, I think people would be fine with him threatening not to report.
