This might be more about the dollars saved I guess, as well as giving Alzner an opportunity with a different team.
You still have to replace the player on your roster, so at best you're saving a few hundred k.

With such minimal savings this year, I would have thought they would wait until next year for the buy-out. Hard to imagine MAB will be around to feel the consequence of the extra cap hit in '23-24 though, I guess.
