Remember there were stories about how pissed Melnyk was that Heatley forced a trade after Heatley's signing bonus had to be paid out by the Senators. Granted $80k is a different order of magnitude than the millions Heatley got, but Melnyk could be mad that the kid is only leaving after getting his signing bonus for this upcoming season and not deciding to leave before it was paid out.

Maybe. I know nothing about the player or his motives. All I know is that I wouldn't want to force a young man into something he wasn't comfortable with as maybe he has anxiety issues being away from home. Some young people find it hard to adapt to a new lifestyle.
