Given his low salary it's definitely in his interest to get bought out. All he'd have to do is earn the difference between his salary and his buyout (which is $1.65M) over the next 2 years to break even. So even if he signed somewhere for $850K a year for the next 2 years he'd make just as much money as if allowed himself to be traded or put on waivers. Anything above that meager salary and he comes out ahead.

unless there is something new in the CBA, players to be bought out first must be placed on unconditional waivers.
An example of this is Chris Drury who had a NMC. He waived it so the Rangers could place him on waivers then buy him out
