Do you think it would be possible to use the clause to take on a bad contract from another team only to use your own buyout clause on them? Or might they make it contingent on only being allowed to buyout players that are currently on your roster?
So say you're the Canadiens who have multiple bad contracts plaguing your team. Could you say trade Kaberle to the Flames so they could use their one time buyout clause on him? That way the Flames might be able to acquire some decent prospects/picks for just buying out a player. That way this clause is more lucrative for the teams who don't have that one bad contract that needs to be bought out.
