What did the Flames get? They obviously got rid of a toxic situation and clearly Peters would have signed a release holding the Flames harmless from any future claims by Peters assuming they follow the obligations as set forth.

He also can't bad mouth them from afar or reveal any information that the flames don't want released.
#1 concern for the flames organization is ending this saga as quickly and quietly as possible. Any ouster that didn't muzzle peters is not as good as something that prevents him from dragging the flames back into anything else.
It's worth it to pay him a lot to go away quietly than a little and have no control over what he might say next.
