Yeah, when there were rumors they weren't making the coaching change because they didn't want to still be paying him to not coach, they'd let him go to save the money.

The players sure need to be thinking about this. I doubt any of them want to play for a dick like Carlyle...but they might if they don't get their **** together for Murray.

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?

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.

You guys know what a contract is, right? It's an agreement between two parties and if it says that I can remove you as coach and still pay you to be my employee then no, you can't go work for someone else. And you can't "quite" a contract and go work for someone else because that would be breach of contract. Where's tortfeasor when you need him?

Still a free country...you crack me up...

....They aren't the same guy?

Nah! Boudreau has cuter cheeks.

How do you know it says that?
Contracts can be negotiated to say whatever the parties involved decide, within the limits of any bargaining agreement.
Is there a NHLCA (NHL Coaches Association) agreement that states a coach must remain the employee of team as long as the length of the contract?

They may have to pay him as long as the length of the contract, but if he declines to be paid, then where is the breach of contract if he decides to work for someone else?

"Yes, we fired you, but you must sit at home and take our pay and not work for anyone else unless we say so".
Sounds good, for Communist China.

Nice meltdown in Boudreau's Anaheim debut.

Thanks Getzlaf!
