I don't exactly know how that works, I assume the real dollar savings are larger but the penalty is higher or something? but thats what i've heard.
either way, pretty funny that edmonton won't be able to buy that one out, and cant buy out russel because he actually will be a contributor on that blueline

Yes Lucic's contract is "buy-out proof".
This is essentially because all signing bonuses are paid to the player regardless of a buyout and therefore decreases the cap savings that buying out the contract usually provides.
