I think that deal would be a talent downgrade but would likely chew up less than half of the 6.75M and allow for flexibility to trade or sign for a top 6 winger
Hanifin gets the keys as #1LHD

Yeah, I've thought Edler would be a good signing (but he's not on the same level as Gio) - but this whole buyout thing seems like a slam dunk, no?
Buyout Gio, re-sign after the expansion - and sign Edler in free agency.
Giordano - Tanev
Hanifin - Andersson
Valimaki - Edler

It's a creative way to improve the team.
