I wonder what are Horak's options (or any other player's in similar situation)? I can think of the following:
- Suck it up and try playing better.
- Ask GM to be traded to another team.
- Leave NHL and go to another league (KHL or Swiss etc.).
Are there any other legal ways out of the AHL for a player that thinks he is being shortchanged by the GM or the unfortunate cap situation and that he could do better with another NHL team?
