The Oilers were one of the only teams who actually had to pay compensation when they hired Chiarelli.
They weren't happy about it because he had already been fired by the Bruins, but he was still under contract.

Haha, giving up something so they can hire Chiarelli. The one who traded Hall for Larsson 1 for 1.
