Carolina buying out Marleau - 3m bonus signing, .833m over 2 years so effectively 3.8m real money and 6.25 on the cap for that season (which doesn't really matter to them)
Ducks buying out Backes @25% - 1m bonus signing, 2m over 2 years with boston taking 25% of the 3m total cost (750k) meaning 2.25m real money and 3.75 cap hit.
Chances are some of the 1st goes into getting Kase and part of why the Ducks took this deal in the end. I do think it's a nice pickup by both teams because they managed to get value out of it in different ways.
