There is no way in hell that a team would include a first round pick, which could very well be Connor McDavid, to dump this contract. It's not happening. As for retained salary, that means nothing to the guys on the ice who would have to play with this guy. They would see him as a 7 mil per year player who doesn't try and doesn't care yet takes up a roster spot. Fantastic example for our young players who are currently thriving in a merit based system.
