Big part of the teams being allowed to travel and play is following the guidelines. NHL has postponed over 100 games and this guy thinks he can just do whatever he feels like.

Like he just went AWOL on the team without permission? I must have missed that.
I was considering a situation where he may have notified them verbally that he wanted to travel to Vancouver, and they were like yeah, whatever, you do you. Then as soon as he did, they bust him for breaking protocols.
San Jose was looking for a way out and if they gave him implied permission by knowing about his intentions and not pointing out the consequences, then I think they should be responsible. I don't know if that is what happened, but I wouldn't be shocked either since contract termination was likely something they were researching for a while.
