I like the buyout. 1) It forces GMs to assess potential retirees during the UFA signing period and 2) it encourages trading so that GMs can flip a possible retiree for assets and avoid the buyout.

To me this is a part of the game that demonstrates a GM's skill. Mitigate the risk of a buyout to acquire cheap, usable assets.
