NHL got rid of the compensation for hockey execs. The policy is now that a team needs to be granted permission to talk. There will be no compensation in terms of picks. I think the only thing that is negotiated is the amount of money the Flames would be on the hook for. I guess the Flames could say no dice unless the Oilers cover the full amount that they are currently paying Sutter. We will never know unless that permission is granted.
If I am Sutter I make the Oilers offer 5M over 3 years knowing he will only be there for this and maybe next year.
