What if your statements are taken out of the context, misquoted etc? Atleast the employer would have to call him and ask whether he's quitting or not.
Imagine a player going through the emotions after a lost play-off series and giving emotianally loaded statements like "I'm done" or "I'm not going to play again" without really considering it? Is it ok for NHLPA decide the very moment they see those comments that he's retired without even contacting the player?
I don't think so.
