You only need to look at Campbell to Florida or Phaneuf for junk to see how salary kills these deals. The second year almost becomes a millstone to cap teams.
Now if you eat half - you'll get a great return. 1.5 years (2 playoff runs) is nice when you are only paying him <$3.5m/y. A good player on a cheap deal for 2 years? What's not like for a team against the cap. I think rich rebuilding teams are going to exploit the crap out of this over the CBA.
