I was wondering the same thing, so I put Erik Karlsson to see what would happen. There was this note on the butout:

Retained Salary
This contract was involved in a retained salary transaction. The resulting costs and cap hit are therefore split between each team based on the percentage of salary retained by the respective teams.

SJ retain 13% so looks like they would still be on the books for 13% of the buyout cap hit.
So in the case of Johansen, looks like Nashville would still be on the hook for 50% of the buyout cap hit.
