I seriously doubt the Canes will being paying to dump KK. They can re-sign everyone they need with him still on the team, and if they traded him they would need to fill his spot down the middle anyway.

Worst case scenario they buy him out as U25 buyouts are cheaper against the cap, but I still think that is unlikely to happen.
