Being fired before his contract expires does not equate with him being wronged. He negotiated a decent contract for himself which included not only a salary other GM's could only hope for, but likely including sweetheart break provisions which would pay him generously in the event it was terminated early.
He obtained the position of GM for the Leafs by promoting himself as someone who would quickly turn the franchise's fortunes around. He convinced the then owners he was their ticket to win. He said so himself, with slightly different words.
The Leafs are still the Laughs, despite his efforts. I don't see how in these circumstances he was wronged.
