I think the buy out will create more pain than the player given the payout schedule and the coming contracts to core pieces in Tkachuk, Bennett, and Ferland.
With the contract heading into the back nine in October I'd ride it out. His underlying numbers are certainly better this year, even if his production hasn't returned.
Sam Bennett has played only 51 minutes with Brouwer this year.
Mark Jankowski only 17.
