That's possible, yeah. This is different from being fired for performances reasons of course.
Especially if, and I have no idea if this is the case, but if you're firing him for reasons beyond on-ice performance then potentially you may not have to pay him the balance of his deal.
Especially when are firing someone for actions that were years before he actually worked for you.
