This is a job for the players at the end of the day and when they wake up in the morning they should feel good about going to work and good about their working relationship with their boss and what's going on in their workplace. We can quit our jobs if we don't like working for our boss but these players are under contract so they just can't up and quit so I have absolutely no issue here as I believe it's just more than Huberdeau and Kadri as it's a group of players just like it was with Hartley.

Yeah, they’re under contract. They are fully aware of that when they sign. Want to make millions of a dollars a year playing hockey? Sometimes you might not like your coach…that’s like, no different than any contact workers. To stop doing the job you’re being paid for is in excusable, especially when your audience makes less in a year than you do in a week.
And to be clear, I don’t think the flames players are doing that. Maybe the personal conflict creeps in and is affecting performance, but for pro athletes to willfully underperform because they don’t like their boss? That’s some McDonalds employee level ####, and I don’t buy that for a second.
