Considering the Sharks position in the standings and the future of the current core, a rebuild makes the most sense. As you know, the Sharks have many expensive and untradeable at their current cap hit. A buyout of Burns contract would not make any sense as it would lower his cap hit from 8 million to 6 million. Burns is still a productive player and at 4 million for 3 years, he would be seen as a valued asset as a big right shot defenseman. It would also only be a 4 million dollar cap hit for the Sharks for 3 years plus any assets they receive in a trade. That cap hit would also be gone by the time Eklund would need a new contract.
Couture on the other hand could possibly make sense financially to buyout as most years of the buyout would be less than 3 million cap hit wise. However a trade of his contract at 50% would make far more sense as that 4 million dollar cap hit would last 5 years compared to 10 years for a buyout.
Would you trade them both at 50% and if so what would you expect back in return?
