I guess it depends on the rules for the buy out. I would consider buying out kipper at 1m and then signing him to a 2.5 million one year. Lowers his cap by almost 3 million and effectively the buy out would be additional salary not on the cap. I would rather use the allocated buyout to keep a player I wanted happy then wasting it on Stajan, who I would try to farm out to a team in Russia if I couldn't trade him for a bug of pucks.
