A lot of that is because they think they can buy him out easily.
That is not exactly true.
A buyout next summer would leave a cap hit of $1,916,667 until 24-25 ( 4 more seasons).
While that on its own isn't too crazy, they will still be paying Sekera $1,500,000 and Lucic $750,000 until 22-23.
When they buy him out, for two years they will have a dead cap of $4,166,667
Even if you don't count Sekera, they are still paing 2.5M against the cap for two seasons for nothing.
