How many NHLers demoted to the AHL terminated their contract for pride?
Sykora was the only one I can think of and that was so he could negotiate a cap friendlier deal with a playoff team as he planned to retire soon.
Souray and Redden took their lumps and took the money rather than play in the NHL.
I know some European players do it, but thats because they want to go home and/or have a richer contract waiting for them in Europe.
