Since he's going from a head coaching position to an assistant, he'll likely be getting paid less, so the Flames would still be paying him.
I think some coaches have been in high-enough demand to get guaranteed contracts, so they get paid even if they get fired, but I doubt Gulutzan would have had enough pull for that.

Come on. This is the Edmonton Oilers here. Of course Gulutzan is getting a raise, and a guaranteed contract to boot.
