Thread: Carlyle Fired after win - Boudreau in according to Mackenzie

From my understanding the ducks are on the hook for Carlyle's salary for the rest of the contract. If Carlyle accepts another coaching position within the NHL he would forfeit that salary.

I don't think the ducks can keep him from accepting any positions.

If they fired him and filled their coaching position with someone else, how could they stop him from getting another coaching job?

Did Washington have to give Boudreau their blessing?
Link?

There are lots of ways to "fire" a coach...relieving him as coach...reassigning him to another position.

Just because he's not the coach doesn't mean he isn't still a Ducks employee. Hitchock was still a BJs employee when he got hired by the Blues. The Blues got permission and were able to hire him away...that's probably the same thing that happened with Boudreau and what's happening with Carlyle.

DL didn't miss on anything...hiring BB would have been a huge mistake. However I think Carlyle should be considered very seriously...

Calling it now, Ducks end up second in the division. Kings end up third. Ducks beat Chicago in the first round. Kings lose to Vancouver in the first. Murray and Lombardi lose their jobs.

Not that I want this to happen, but it's perfectly within the realm of possibilities.

They removed him as coach, but they still have to pay him for the next 2 years. Its how NHL coaches contracts are structured.

They can stick him wherever they want.

Is that how it works?

They don't have to pay him if he gets a job somewhere else.

Breach of contract?
They already fired him from what he was hired to do.
I don't think he signed an all-purpose contract to do whatever bidding the Anaheim Ducks feel like assigning him to.

Going back to that scenario above, if Carlyle doesn't like doing what they want him to do, he quites. Yes, quites.
It's still a free country, I think.

The Ducks still hold Carlyle's rights, period. The Ducks are now paying him NOT to coach the team.

Anahiem had to go to Washington on Monday to talk to BB. Twitter

This. IMO there's no way they prevent him from being a head coach for another team. And with Ducks supposedly wanting to save some dollars, what do you think they do when someone wants to take him off their paycheck?

i find it funny that they replaced carlyle with his doppelganger
