That doesn't totally jive with Rutherford saying in his post-game comments after the Sabres game that he thought Boudreau's contract was only one year.
Quote:
“It was my understanding that he was going to get a contract for just last year. He got a contract really for two years, and so he’s still got his contract. It wasn’t that we extended him one year, it was that we just lived by the contract he had,” Rutherford said.

I suppose he could have been consulting with the team and suggested Boudreau and then been surprised by the length of the contract, but that speaks to some pretty serious miscommunication going on in the office.
