He could send a package to the Hawks in a bigger deal and maybe grab Strome off their hands. Dubas won't pay much to lose Mrazek. There are other ways to generate cap space.Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate said:

Especially since the buyout cost isn?t really that high. If teams are asking for real assets to take Mrazek, he won?t be dealt. If all they want is a future mid-round pick or mid tier prospect, then it?s a possibility.

Chicago might. Arizona does not. They?ll get much better offers.
One last attempt before draft time:
In: Campbell ($4.5mil, UFA), one of Engvall/Kase ($1.75mil, RFA), Sandin ($1.5mil, RFA), Strome ($4mil, UFA), Cogliano ($900k, UFA), Puljujarvi ($3mil, trade), Stolarz (trade)
Out: Holl, Kerfoot, Mrazek, one of Engvall/Kase, Simmonds (maybe)
Holl and Kerfoot should be easy enough to move out I'd imagine. Ideally we get some sort of draft pick back for both, especially Holl, but $5.5mil in cap space would be the most important thing. Mrazek goes to Chicago alongside some sort of mid range sweetener. With Pulju and Strome I just couldn't fit both Engvall and Kase cap wise. The one we decide not to keep, I went with Kase, could be a potential player we swap Puljujarvi with. Stolarz, with his $950k AAV, would be the perfect 1B guy I think right now. He's also an UFA after this upcoming season so if the Ducks are keeping Gibson I can't imagine he'll be in their long-term plans. Simmonds is somewhere, but not on the Leafs main roster. Either traded, claimed off waivers, or cleared waivers and with the Marlies.
That leaves us with:
Bunting-Matthews-Marner
Robertson-Tavares-Puljujarvi
Engvall-Strome-Nylander
Cogliano-Kampf-Anderson
Rielly-Brodie
Muzzin-Liljegren
Giordano-Sandin
Dahlstrom
Campbell
Stolarz
$100k in cap space remaining.

I think other than some key acquisitions at goaltending and at least one middle-six winger, we should try to run the kids in the replacement level areas of the roster (6D, bottom-3) and give them some runway to grow and develop pro games (PK, forecheck) throughout the first half of the season. Whoever floats to regular duty is a win, and cap space is banked for the deadline. I'll have some firmer convictions about specific players on Thursday, maybe.
new guy - Matthews - Nylander
Bunting - Tavares - Marner
Engvall - Kampf - Kase
Marlie - cheap UFA - Marlie
Rielly - Brodie
Giordano - Liljegren
Sandin - Holl

I'd prefer Strome, but White on a much cheaper deal would also be an option for 3C.

So, there's 10.5 million reasons. White's contract was very bad, and things just weren't working out there even in a smaller role for him. This was their last chance to buy him out at that cheaper 1/3 rate because of his age.

I can't remember which podcast floated this, but I like the idea of buyouts not counting towards the cap - but in that case, they would have to be paid in full, instead of 1/3 or 2/3 it currently is.
