Stil, the deal isn't that much of an over payment that the pitch fork crew needs to be screaming bloody murder over it. If it was, the Avs wouldn't have turned it down.

I don't view it as an overpayment either. I just don't think it's a deal that the Flames should make since the position they're in right now is a very ideal spot to be in when you're in year 1 of a rebuild.
