Real life NHL isn't like your XBox where there are no personalities or feelings that need to be considered. In real sports (any team management - regardless of the industry) there are real people who have real feelings, friends, and attachments.
If you are not going to be considerate of the people and their families that work for you then you are building something that is far worse than a team stuck in the middle of the standings.

Forsure and I agree, but it's a spectrum. If they're actually letting Kadri fully dictate his playing career and giving him an unofficial full NTC, then that's too far to one end, and is very unprofessional.
If we're talking real life, then a business wouldn't just keep someone around because they like working there. People get laid off all the time. It doesn't mean you can't give them a good reference and hook them up with your network so they can find a new job they fit.
