The reasoning some of us dislike the signing is exactly what we're saying. There's no ulterior motives here
The amount of a finite amount of cap space allocated to this player is not commensurate with the value he'll bring
Is not that we're afraid of truculence, it's not because we don't understand hockey, and it's not because we think he's a terrible player.

No, we didn't sign him because there were no stars available. We signed him because that's the kind of player we needed.
We did not need a Hudler type guy that may pot a few more goals. All the nay sayers have brought up is points as to why he is overpaid. Points isn't everything.
Was Langkow a bad player for us? Conroy? Neither was known for scoring a lot. From what I recall they were quite solid here.
And outside of Colborne and Hudler, what other players would the nay sayers bring in to fill that spot on RW? Let's hear those names. Let's see your ideas for the solution here.
