Probably just pumping him up for trade hopes. Unlike with the Mike Richards situation, there's no advantage to buying him out this year versus next year. There is instead advantage to waiting in terms of how much the buyout would cost and for how long he'd be on the cap. Additionally, Brown may not be worth his cap hit, but he's still one of only 10 Kings that got double digit goals, and I'm not sure those are points they can afford to lose as low-scoring as they are.
