Another poster mentioned it earlier about if you get good value for the first say 4 years in a 7 year deal, it will be worth it. It almost looks like that’s the way todays contracts especially for top players are structured. Two years are basically the signing bonus.
Buyouts 100% effect the cap. I don't think anything would be saved by buying out Huberdeau
