Kuba's contract will be bought out by the Panthers, TSN's Bob McKenzie reports.

McKenzie notes that the move is not a compliance buyout, so the buyout dollars will count against the Panthers' salary cap. In any case, the 36-year-old defenseman, who recorded 10 points in 44 games with the Panthers this past season, is set to become an unrestricted free agent. He figures to catch on with with another team looking to add some veteran blue line depth, though his best fantasy days are probably behind him.
