Depends on how they negotiated the new transfer agreement. According to the hockey news, transfer payments are made regardless if the player is under contract or not under the previous agreement.

The way it works now, European teams that lose players receive $240,000 regardless of whether the player is under contract or not. So even if a player gets free agent status in his league, the team that loses him still gets money.
