Sure, it's legal. But I wouldn't keep him to go and sulk in the AHL and take up a good spot on my farm team. Maybe the Sens shouldn't pay a signing bonus to a kid with an iffy attitude.
If the kid wants to play in a Euro pro league or something, probably the best thing to do would have been to cut a deal for his release (maybe the Euro team would pay part of his bonus back).
