A buy out in '29 you get no saving (83k), but in '30 you get 4.6M of cap space followed up 2 years of 1M dead cap space. Not terrible if the big pay day contract for that future star kicks in 2030.
Buyout in 30 you get 3.6M cap followed by 1 year of 2M dead cap. If you can get to 2030 you just need to see if someone will trade for his contract 50% for a pick or if he can play it out.

There is also a chance that Huberdeau developed chemistry with the top skilled player we draft this year too.
