Lol that's a glaring whoopsie from Staples that's not going to help his case in attempting to look grounded or rational in evaluating his own team this season. Good way to make you look disconnected from reality, thus drawing all your other takes into question.
For comparison, if hypothetically we were to re-up Lindholm for 14 million x 8, he's then by the same logic immune to the scrutiny of being dubbed overpaid on the next contract because he made 4.85 AAV previously and overperformed for a few years.
Not that it needs to be said but critiquing contracts doesn't work retroactively like that where you evaluate current contracts based on past work, and never has. No one does this, except for Staples apparent, to ironically support his own delusional conformation bias.
You're either overpaid or not.
Oiler people are really proving us right about Oiler people in September/October once again.
