If it's not, I don't want to see them buy out anyone. Everyone pretty much has one year left on their contract (except for the important players you want under contract long term). It's not as bad as we think.

As ER said, if they're not part of the plans going forward and you dont think you can trade him then why not buy him out, save some money and capspace that you can use elsewhere. Buying a guy out is going to be less money than paying his salary for a year even if the savings are marginal.
At this point even marginal savings may be really important to get under the cap.
Further, and I think this point is important: with a lower cap the entire economy of scale is going to shift downward.
