They repay him for that by turning their backs on him and in the process making him out to be some bad guy.
Regardless of how this goes I would be pretty disgusted if the Flames did this to one of their own players but I know full well that would never happen as the Flames organization is all class.

IIRC the NFL had at one time a strong union and guaranteed contracts but management broke it during a strike and now they do whatever they want with the players. Not exactly an optimal situation except for the billionaire owners. I don't like the NHLPA that much but I'm glad they are there.
