Considering the Jake Allen trade, it seems like there could/should be a path to resolving that situation without a buyout, though it really boils down to where Hank is willing to play (presumably not Seattle).
I suppose Henrik's best option is to accept a buyout and sign cheaply wherever he wants, as opposed to allowing a trade to a middling team who would be able to take his retained cap hit. His bank account comes out about the same (if not better) and he ends up with a true contender.
