Important to remember that the return for Zadorov in isolation isn't all that interesting, it's the total return for all these guys.
It may be a requirement to accrue a maximum amount of cap space by the deadline to take on unwanted contracts, which makes it important to do this trade as early as possible.
And, yeah, who cares about retaining the max amount if it's for one year. It will not be an issue when it comes time to construct the next team. Buy those picks!
