I can't remember the exact conditions, for example if EDM pays Keith for a year and then buys him out. Theoretically, then EDM would have a higher caphit than salary during his stay with the team. Would a buyout result in EDM getting cap credit for a year, and CHI a penalty, followed by a year where EDM has a buyout of something like $500k?

If Jeff Carter retires this year, the Pens get a small negative caphit. It's probably similar for EDM if he retires after 1 year...not sure about a buyout.
