Ducks only had 4-6 teams to work with trade-wise as per Perry’s list - he had a full no-move. Anaheim couldn’t find a trade partner so buyout it is.

I'm actually surprised Perry chose to only give the Ducks 5 teams to go to. Why throw away 1/3rd of your millionaire salary just to be picky where you go? I find it hard to believe a player would rather be bought out and lose that guaranteed salary, then suck it up and get the full salary elsewhere.
There must be some kind of backdoor/secret handshake deal his agent has with a team elsewhere to make up for it during UFA period. It's not like his contract was front loaded either. He genuinely lost a ton of money.
