I think the NHLPA would fight it if the Flyers tried to demote him now.
We all dont like him as a player. But we have to let things play out.
The Flyers could simply say it is due to performance. The NHLPA would not really be able to argue. He would still get paid etc under NHL rules, even if bought out.
And they could certainly - if they wanted to - have him suspended right now with pay before the league meets on the matter.
It is pretty much down to what the Flyers want to do really...
