I think he (and his agent) expect to get PAID. McDavid is the starting point.
yeah exactly

they have to sign Matthews, Marner, Gardiner and Kapanen next season, not to mention 11 roster spots come up empty next year.

those four need to get signed, and then you have an additional 7 spots with the money left... 27 million on 11 spots? or if Matthews gives them a discount, 15 million on 10 spots? including signing Marner, Gardiner and Kapanen?

I'm no capologist, but that doesn't seem very workable to me... not sure what Dubas is seeing... maybe trades etc in that equation?
