Trade, even with retention, is better than buyout, but they will buy him out if they can’t move him.
I don’t think his opportunities have been very lengthy, however. And when he’s been moved between decent wingers, it hasn’t looked bad. He, Toffoli and Dube looked good off the bat, and were a little unlucky on a few great chances. But they were split up after only a couple games. He may not “deserve” to play with better players, but it’s a better move for the team if they want contribution from him.
