One of these things is not like the other.

A contract is a contract. Period. Luckily the Flames run a respectable organization and did so taking Kipper's situation into account. And god bless them for doing so. But they certainly weren't legally obliged to do so.
If people are going to say what Iggy pulled was a dick move, then what do you call what Kipper did? He threatened to not live up to his contractual obligations. Sure he had a reason, and a good one. Maybe calling what Kipper did a dick move is the wrong word. He did what was best for his family and I respect that. But IMO what he did from a legal perspective, is worse then what Iggy did. Iggy simply used the NTC that was available to him. Kipper acted like he still had one.
