Contingent retirement is neither uncommon, nor unethical. It happens all the time.
YOu said before that he wants his cake and to eat it too - in other words, he still wants to play for the Flames. That is true. But the FLames also still want him to play. If they didn't, they could send him to Abby, thereby forcing that retirement that you think he owes them.
He is saying (allegedly): I only want to play for the Flames, or I will retire.
Nothing wrong with that. THe Flames can keep playnig him or they can force his hand.
This happens every day in large corporations where transfers are common.
