Overpayment...maybe... but getting a backup eases alot of the offseason pressure.

The deal pretty much a two separate deals for the Hurricanes and was two separate in the trade talks as well
Hedberg for Boynton
then
Montador for Byers and a 3rd
Hesla really needed a defenceman afterwards and Montador had zero future with the Hurricanes after spending the full year in the AHL for me. I need to start dumping D as I got a stockpile now at that range. In the end I think the second part of the deal really works out well for Hesla being that he's still a 60ov player and will fill into Boynton spot for him
but for me it was Hedberg <-> Boynton, and the rest was for someone not in my plans for a 3rd
