They're overpaying from day one.

Lol who gives a #### about overpaying when your option is to lose the player or sign them long term? They are trying to win the cup in the next 3 or so years, should they forgo that opportunity because they don't want to overpay him when he's old. If he puts up 110 pts in his first year it is not an overpayment from day one. If they win the cup at any point during the length of this contract, the overpayment is worth it. You are prioritizing budget over winning.
