Yes I am quite aware of all of those facts and really they all agree with my argument. If you don't want to listen to the team you get benched. If you don't like that you get demoted. If you don't like that, if you have any value left you get traded. And usually with the baggage of being a problem case for management.

This is exactly the attitude the Flames are trying to get rid of when dumping guys like Baertschi and benching Mony, Johnny and Bouma. If your boss thinks you need a conditioning stint because you are playing like #### then you act like a pro and do it. Otherwise you risk not seeing any NHL career, no NHL pay and no history with the team.

It doesn't matter what your employment is, if you don't listen to your boss your career is going to be over pretty quick. I just hope he learned it and demonstrates it when he has the opportunity.
