I haven't read the whole thread, just two tweets, but how do people know it's a player screwing the team?

How do we know it's Kipper just deciding that he wants to retire at the end of the season, and the Flames deciding that rather than try and move arguably the most important player since he got here for a 4th round pick it's worth more to the organization have him retire a Flame AND let Kipper not have to worry about being a rental.

I like it when organizations do things to treat their players right, or it improves the chances that the team be a desirable destination if one wants to look at it from a purely self interested point of view.
