Ryan O'reilly being overpaid has nothing to do with Buffalo and everything to do with Jay Feaster. He was gonna see this money no matter what. Feaster is the one who overpaid him initially on a short term deal. Colorado resigned him and obviously had to give him a small increase in pay. Now when he goes to Buffalo obviously they have to give him an increase because what 24 year old is going to accept the same money or less? They gave him a million extra which over a 7 year contract isn't bad but looks bad because Jay Feaster overpaid on a short term deal intially. Thank god Colorado matched.
