LV has a ton of cap space and from what I read did not think he was worth more than 5 million. Yes, he is one the leading goal scorers in the last 2 playoffs, but if you do a goals- per-game analysis, it's a. Different story. Again, I may be wrong about this, but imo he is overrated.

I think he's overrated as well, but considering he was a UFA and they didn't have to give up anything but money, he's a welcome addition. Not too high an overpayment as well, so it's something you can live with as long as he's putting up 25+ goals each season.
