Yeah, it's a completely different situation. Lipkin was drafted in 2021 and just finished his 2nd college season, so if he went back for another year, he could have done like Justin Schultz and declared himself a free agent next June 1.
If you have a player in that situation who's willing to sign his ELC, you have to do it even if your hands are tied for other moves.

Didn't the Tropicana just get imploded to make way for the stadium?
Just checked... Not imploded yet. As of Tuesday, it's now closed to begin preparation for the demolition, which is expected for October.
