The buyout of PLD actually has a bigger cap hit over the last 7 years than if you bought out Huberdeau's, though the front half of Huberdeau's buyout is not feasible at all.

Disagree on Huberdeau coming close to earning his paycheque but I hope you are right. I'd take the dead cap over having Huberdeau's contract over the next 7 years. He is probably going to be a 5 -6 million dollar player at that point anyways.
It wouldn't actually shock me if the Kings bought PLD out. The 1/3 buyout makes it a lot more viable
