Hence the rest of my post explaining why it would be completely wrong and absurd for the Kings to let him play out his career out of respect, have Copley get injured and now they're down to Quick as an inadequate starter in what could have been a huge playoff run.

The Flames did right by Kipper and they weren't going to the playoffs anyway so they didn't have anything to gain in the short term.
The Kings did right by the team in the short term as they want to make noise in the playoffs.
No true right or wrong by either team. A person could flip it the other way on the Flames and say they should have got some assets for the future
Teams make tough choices and sometimes they have to hurt some feelings. Let's see if this pays off for the Kings.
