I'm quite dubious that he would choose to pack it in at this point of his career.
I hope to god that you are never charged with the employ of people. If you cannot see how utterly petty this attitude is, then shame on you.
Do the Flames owe Hiller anything? No.
Does it follow that they should do everything they can to ensure that Hiller's career is over? No.

I am in charge of the employment of people. I never suggested the Flames ensure that Hiller's career is over. I'm not talking about taking a baseball bat to his leg and finishing what is obviously inevitable. Hiller has ensured his career is over by utterly failing at his 23 chances. He did that. I'm just suggesting the Flames don't foolishly give him chance number 24 when a young and better skilled kid has been patiently waiting for a legit opportunity.
What company can you work for that gives you 4 million dollars guaranteed and then 23 chances despite the first 22 showing you that you're not fit for the job? This isn't regular employment to begin with, so save your spiel about human resources ethics.
