He won't retire either with $10 million in real money to collect.
Seems like the only hope for Ottawa to escape that contract is LTIR.
Its basically $5 million in dead cap space for the next 3 years either way.

Would Ottawa ever do a buyout on a player or are they too cheap for that?
If the Senators can't flip Gaborik for anything, then I'll have a hard time understanding why they did this trade. Gaborik has also made off with some lucrative contracts in the past (3 years $6.3 mill, 5 years $7.5 mill, 3 years $5 mil) so it's not like he would be in for chasing money...
