I don't think he overpaid. Lupul, a prospect (Smid), 1st rounder, conditional 1st rounder and a 2nd isn't an overpayment for one of the best defensemen in the game who was still in his prime. I would liken it to Doughty or Hedman's value right now. I'd pay that price for one of them in a heartbeat.
Funny fact, that 2nd round pick in the Pronger trade was later traded by the oilers (for a player and a pick you never heard of) to NYI and was used to pick Hamonic.
