I think this move is a very creative way to make a trade and retain more than 50% salary. There may be a team that wants vermette but is cap stressed and can't afford 1/2 the salary retention. So Arizona buys him out making him ufa and he signs a sweetheart deal with a team who in turn makes a 'trade' with Arizona to reward them for eating the money. Will be very interesting to see where he lands as this is a very puzzling move that has many media types scratching their heads. Has to be more than meets the eye.
