But regardless, with today's events, I find it almost impossible to believe that we won't be seeing Brent Sutter behind the bench with the Flames this season.
Duncan echoes my thoughts on Brent Sutter officially stepping down as the Devil's coach.

According to TSN
NHL rules stipulate that Lou can refuse to allow Brent to coach but CAN’T officially ask for compensation to release him from his contract.
That doesn’t stop the parties from making a gentleman’s agreement however. It wouldn’t surprise me to see Brent get hired here and then the Flames make a curious swap of picks in one of the mid rounds of the draft with the Devils.
Lou is certainly within his rights to be a dick about this, but it doesn’t really gain him anything.
All indications are that Lou wouldn’t be a dick about it. But while he can’t demand compensation, I would imagine Darryl could call him up and say “Hey, what if I traded you a 5th round pick for some ECHL plug you don’t want, and we’ll call it good as it relates to Brent?”
You would expect Lou would get something
out of letting Brent go elsewhere.
