Strange. It seems that the cap savings you might have in years 4-7 are erased by the overpayment in years 1-3 (assuming he develops into a top 2 defenseman).

I guess the Sabres are hoping to be contenders by then when the cap savings can be helpful to them, but seems like a weird risk for Adams to take.
