Buying out Milan's contract sucks because you don't get any immediate relief, but the post-contract penalties aren't as harsh however. The extra three years the Flames would be on the hook for a 437k cap hit. The Oilers buying out Neal would be 1.916M for three seasons.
Doesn't matter, buyouts suck. Just be smarter with these singings. Resist filling holes via big money free agency as much as possible.
