Frickin' awful. Basically no savings, so it's not worth it.
This year's buyout window is closed, so the earliest he could be bought out would be next June, with 3 years remaining on the contract. After a buyout, his cap hit for the final three seasons would be: $5.5M, $4M, and $5.5M instead of $6M each year. There would also be a $500,000 cap hit for three additional years.
The Oilers portion of that would be a percentage equal to whatever percentage of his salary they retain in the trade.
