Isn't this CBA like 8 or 9 years long? I don't think any GM is planning around that yet. I'm sure as it gets closer, they might have that in the back of their mind. However, I'm pretty sure no GM is thinking "I'm going to overbid on this guy so I get him, but if it doesn't work out, I'm okay, I'll just use a compliance buyout." Sounds like the mentality of a guy who lacks patience and doesn't care about his owner's money. In the case or TOR and NYR, this might be standard practice, maybe even actively endorsed by their filthy rich ownership.
