http://tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=180581&hubname=nhl

After a New York Yankees pitcher had an extremly unfortunate accident, losing control of his plane that he took out just to cruise around the new york waters with, lost control of the plane, and while trying to regain control, made a 90 degree turn directly into a building. People thought this was another terrorist attack but were soon given relief to find out it wasnt. Although that is relieiving, everyone is still extremly sad for what happenned to this man. After this event, managers of sports teams starting realizing that they may be letting their players have too much freedom. They sign players for a lot of money, and sign them to be a bug asset their team, some managers have told their players that for instance they cannot fly a plane anymore, or ride a motorcycle. Alex Kovalev flies planes on his pass time, and has decided he will continue to do so, and is greatful that GM Bob Gainey has not forced him to stop

I think it is a huge tragedy to see such a talented man at the sport of baseball lose his life. It goes to show how easily something can happen. I feel extremly bad for the family of the man, I'm sure he had so many extremly loyal fans who are very sad because of this. On the more political note, I don't think any General Manager has the right to tell a player that he or she cannot do soemtihng he or she lvoes to do because it is dangerous. Unless it is originally in the contract, everyone should be allowed to do what thye want, the players should take responsibility and think twice. Alex Kovalev is amazing at hockey.
