Hard to fault anyone for going for the bag or not rolling over, but if he's insisting on it surely they'd have to deal him. Arguably you can't have two guys taking up that much, even at Edmonton's asking price. To go over the top to give him $15.5 is putting your team at severe risk of not having much left for the bottom half of the team. Either that or you beef up scouting and hope they hit home runs continuously to fill out the bottom half. As good as McDavid and Draisaitl are I don't think you can allot that much to two guys.
