But isnt that a result of the iron-clad nature of NHL contracts?
I'm not a Contract Lawyer and I'm familiar with the contract structure in NFL, MLB or NBA, I'm more familiar with European Soccer.
But my understanding is that the NFL can cancel your contract if you so much as get the sniffles, with a certain of required pay, MLB is more concrete but I'm really familiar with that.
Soccer is a whole other animal entirely.
The thing with NHL contracts is that typically there has to be a fairly serious Material Breach, isn't that right?
Ethics breach, Legal issues, etc?
