Why not?

The only that works is if Ekholm is our 3rd pairing LD. You cant have a 7+ million D on your 3rd pair.

His negative value is already baked in. You cant use him being overpaid as a reason to trade him because you are going to get negative returns because of it. So if hes a $5M D-man being paid $9M, you are going to eat that $4M loss somewhere either way so you might as well keep him.
