What kind of misconduct clauses might be in a coach's contract that could cover what happened here? Seems realistic that we have a pattern of players complaining/saying they won't play/asking for trades, etc which is damaging to the business. Sounds like some cause.
It could be in Sutter's best interest to accept a negotiated payout as well. Getting a lump sum payout now could be worth more than having to wait 2 years for the full amount, plus it would give him an opportunity to work for another club, even if just in a consultants role or something.

Hard to say really. Sutter has made a lot of money in his career and might not care about waiting 2 years for the full amount, but maybe he would prefer to have a wad of cash right now to invest in other things.
