I recall Tretiak telling a story that he once had a clear opportunity to defect but didn’t have enough time to think the decision through and chose not to.
Situations like Tretiak's weren't uncommon, actually.
Slava Kozlov ironically gave a recent interview - said he was standing outside the hotel at the WJC and some shady NHL representative came out of nowhere and said "get in my car now - go to Detroit". But
Kozlov said he wasn't ready to leave at a moment's notice.
