^^^ I don't like that. It prevents people from progressing in their professional lives. Brad Treliving's goal is to be an NHL GM, so he either has to out live someone (or multiple people) at his current team or another team has to take a risk and pay a penalty to try and attain him? These guys aren't players with a bunch of other spots to win if one is taken. There's one GM and one coach on each team, and they don't always last that long. Now they're getting barred from working elsewhere? And conversely, sometimes GMs can last forever. So a guy is a GM for 15 years and now anyone below him has to essentially be traded in order to get a job without having to outwait this other guy. It will slow down the occurrence of teams giving guys in lesser roles a chance, and will be much more likely to look internally, which is not necessarily a good thing when you're talking about change at the top.

Just seems weird.
