I can see hiring a fired GM requiring compensation, especially if he was fired within the current draft year. He would have intimate knowledge of his old team's draft analysis, scouting, etc. He could take that and help his new team immensely. That has to be worth something.
A coach that was fired at the end of 13/14? Give me a break. The way this new system is playing out, the only way a team will be able to hire anyone without paying a draft pick is by hiring a rookie.
Say Babcock is fired in 4 years and is hired by a new team 3 years later when he still has one year left on his deal. Would the team hiring him still be required to give the Leafs a pick? If yes, that is completely asinine.
