I get the argument people are making, that $10M of salary is a lot to take back for a 2nd (minus a 4th). But that's only half the equation here.
As gvitaly said, Mikheyev is easily a 40-50 point guy, in other situations. CHI plays him in the top 6 for a while, then moves him out, with retention, and they get more picks. They have the same opportunity with Lafferty - trade him at the deadline.
This isn't: $10M cap dump for a 2nd, it's for a 2nd, plus, plus.
