Actually...here is where it does make sense.
Zadorov makes $3.75M
Eakin Makes $2.25M
So if Flames retain $1M on Zadorov and Buffalo retains $1M on Eakin then that is a wash from both teams side of things.
But what it allows Buffalo to do is retain another 50% on Zadorov - so Zadorov could be shopped to a team for ~$1.5M. And there could be a lot more interest in him at that cap hit if they decide to flip him.
