The decision was announced in late December. Gilmour considered taking legal action against the Flames before choosing to walk out on the club.
His response was more about the corruption of the process than anything else. If something like what happened to Gilmour were to occur today, the NHLPA would be hammering the NHL over the head with anti-trust lawsuits.

Once again you missed the point, what does that have to do about walking out on his teammates and dressing room.... He quit on his locker room . There's a big difference between what he did and what Nieuwendyk did
There is no difference between what he did in January or if he did it one day before playoffs.
