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.

They could have had Pesce and Skjei as UFAs and $1.5M in the piggy bank instead of this. And a haul for Draisaitl. Not saying that's what I would have done, but think of it.
