With Nashville eating half his salary would they be on the hook for the same amount of the buyout as the Flyers will. Essentially if he gets bought out both teams eat 1.33 for the next two years?

I think Nashville still pays him $4M and the Flyers pay a buyout on $4M. I don't think you can force another team to buy out their retained salary.
EDIT: CapF's calculator seems to disagree with me. In this case it would probably work out well for Nashville - they take a smaller hit next year and an extra one the year after. But I could see where a team wouldn't want the hit extended the way some buyouts work.
