Thing is, if Mouch is contract for 3 years, and the prospect of compensation a reality, Wolves or other Prem clubs might not have taken note of Mouch in the first place.
I'd wager most chairmen & owners look at who's available or who about to be available before they look at those they have to pay out for. Had someone from that group caught the eye first, Mouch's name might not even be on the table.
By not having him under a long term contract, you put him to the front of the queue by default.
