I didn't miss that part at all. So he didn't like the coach's style and the team put him on the block...It's a completely different situation this time. The team didn't hang Yzerman out to dry as a player and make him out to be a brat. As Resolute pointed out, you can't treat every player the same and expect everyone to be like him.
If things weren't working out and the team put him on the block, it'd be different, by treating the kid the way they are they're looking like the bad guys IMO.
