If they have already made up their mind then we have to assume he's getting fired because there really is no good reason to have him working in a lame duck situation if they already know they are keeping him.

According to Friedman the Flames owners are fine with this. I expect after they will go over the progress of his three years from beginning to end and decide if they feel he should be allowed to continue on. I believe they would be fine with him making trades to help secure a playoff spot seeing that's what owners seem to care about the most. On the outside it certainly looks like his return is contingent on them making the playoffs.
