Except for that crazy little thing called
context.
When you look at the context of paying two players that much money, the cap space / use becomes that much more important.
And they have a ridiculous amount of money locked into players not worth their salary.
So if you want to have blinders on, you can think it's great. When you look at the context, they're taking a big gamble on a player who had one good year playing next to McDavid, and the next few years are going to be extremely difficult for them with the cap hits they have.
