Now they he a $1.3M hit in the first 3 years of McDavid raise and the years where they will need all that cap space to extend players.
Would have been way better off paying the cost to trade him somewhere and just retain $2M for this season. You can tell me there wasn't a market for him at $2M if they attach a 2nd or 3rd rounder to him. Or worst case just waive him and have the $3.1M cap hit this year.
That $1.3M is going to suck in the 2019 offseason when you are trying to extend Talbot.

Agree - made this post in the trade speculation thread. Just makes no sense to me overall.
