I've seen people suggest that we should have seen this coming because he did it with the Lethbridge Hurricanes. The problem with that is he wasn't the only person to demand a trade and I think one other also held out on them.
It is still possible that whatever he experienced in Lethbridge caused him to "fall out of love" with hockey. It certainly wasn't good in Lethbridge for a while. However I don't think this speaks about a major character flaw on his part.
