While what you’re trying to say there isn’t necessarily wrong there’s some context you need to be aware of:

1) the closer we get to the Trade Deadline, the more Cap Space Teams will have and there’ll be more Teams willing to Retain or Take Cap Dump Dumps
2) the out of Pocket Expense to the Owners will be minimum, because the Player they Retain on or Accept Dumped on them will have been paid like 80% of their Salary at that point and any Bonuses as well, so the out of pocket expense isn’t as large as say paying from now on and again, there’s far fewer Teams willing to retain right now = today, so the compensation required is significantly higher, same goes for the off-season in comparison to the trade Deadline
3) aside from Cap Space and Money Out of Pocket, what’s even more important and valuable to Teams are Retention Slots. You’re only allowed to retain on 3 Players Max and PHI is already retaining on Kevin Hayes this season , the next and one after that, leaving just 2. If they were to retain on Konecny, that’s take up 1 this season and another next, leaving them with just 1 retention slot this year and next. They don’t want to do that, given they’re a rebuilding Team. They want to maximize their retention slots. They’re VERY valuable to a rebuilding Team

So ultimately, it depends on when this trade happens, how many teams they have to compete with willing to retain for compensation and whether using a retention spot makes sense and is worth the compensation

I’m not high on McCabe, personally I think he’s a very good shot blocker and he has some physicality, but otherwise he sucks. The only reason CHI got a 1st for him, is because of the amount and year’s they’re retaining in him. I think McCabe is a 5/6/7 D-Man. In fact, I’d have Zadorov at 2LD over McCabe in TOR all day long</div></div>
I did forget about hayes but the one player I believe they will use another slot will be konecny he probably the most valuable piece if they actually rebuild he will be retained on no matter where he goes so that’s really not an issue at the end of the day nobody knows what a player will go for it’s all about who wants him and what someone is willing to pay that’s why we come on here and mess around I know that bolts guy probably your buddy and I don’t come on here crazy amounts but that guy was definitely trolling I know you think it’s me but definitely not
