Still need a replacement player, so it's at most 1.925M freed cap space.
Once his 2.5M bonus is paid, he's only owed $6.5M cash for the final two years. I don't necessarily think you'd need to retain a full 50% to move him to an internal cap team, but whether he'd waive is the question.
He submits an 8 team go-to list, which would be very easy to game (VGK, TBL, STL, TOR, COL, BOS, PIT, EDM - lol)...the first 7 being teams it wouldn't suck to get traded to, anyways.
