The question is: would Julien take a rest-of-season job to see if he is a good fit with the new team?
Not sure MTL is concerned about the money as much as making the playoffs (and at this moment in time CGY is the team most likely to knock them out)

Generally not how it works...the teams negotiate a bit, but generally the old team is just off the hook for about as much as the new team pays.
