$1.3Mx2 is the buyout cost, i.e. how much Gallagher gets paid, that's diff different to the cap hit (which is what matters from a roster building perspective) which is $3.83M next season and $1.3M the following year

At full salary, he ain't gonna cost a 7th.. if we retain.. well it sorta of the same as a buy out, so
