I think another good case study is the Patrik Berglund scenario. He walked away from the rest of his contract and buffalo didn't pay him.

The Sabres initially suspended Berglund for failing to report for a team flight and eventually terminated the remaining three-plus years on his contract.

I don't think he entered any program, but I think that would have been different if the team worked with him. Buffalo didn't support him in any manner.
