They didn’t overpay him. They tried to use foresight to pay him as the player they think he will be. Just like what Buffalo did with Thompson or the Edmonton did with Draisaitl. Whether or not Brady lives up to it.up for debate but I personally don’t think he is grossly overpaid. It’s not all about points after all. It’s better to give a good young player the benefit of doubt to get them locked up in their prime than to over play an older player near the end of their prime knowing with reasonable certainty that the tail end of the contract will be awful.
For whatever reason, Treliving either didn’t have this foresight or thought he could overplay his hand. That’s 100% on him.
