I mean, it's effective, because you have them over a barrel at that point, but then you can't look shocked when players don't want to play under their current contracts they're outperforming and want guaranteed money and long term assurances as their primary motivator.
The slightly dirty part is waiting until after the FA spending frenzy and after the draft, and THEN wanting money back, because the player knows they have almost no chance of getting a starting job or a multi-year contract elsewhere.
Cappa got cut prior to FA and found a home on a 2-year deal quickly. I think very little of Volson, but he would have found a job somewhere if he was cut 3-4 months ago.
