And he's allowed to forgo his salary, and leave. Same as a player leaving for Russia, same as a player that's too old that feels they just can't do it anymore and retires mid contract, same as a prospect that decides they don't even want to play hockey any more and quit. They don't just do it and get away scot free, they pay for it with the remainder of the contract salary. Which any player in the league can do at any time.
