One player is 25 and signed for 4 years at $4.4M, and the other is 32 and signed for 3 years at $5.35M. One player is physical, drives the net, hits and shows up in the playoffs while the other is a perimeter player who vanishes in the playoffs.
To say this is an overpayment just doesn't jive with me. Centres are worth a lot, and players with the level of physical engagement that Benny plays with tend to get paid because that stuff matters.
Interesting to see both players underperform their xGF in a pretty significant way.

But there's always been a difference between mid-to-low tier RFAs and UFAs. UFAs tend to get paid more because there are more bidders.
