I read somewhere that the buyout was much cheaper if Tortorella got fired after one year or less. Basically, his contract came with a one-year money-back guarantee, minus a restocking fee. If the Canucks kept him into next season and then fired him, his warranty period would be over and they would have to pay him most of his remaining salary.
