I just hope they pay him more up front and it’s less as the years goes on. That will be the only saving grace.

It may, but it also might not be as bad as you think it will be. He could still be overpaid but still contribute.
Who knows what state the team will be in either. It could be a situation similar to the Flames where having an overpaid contract isn't the end of the world because the focus is developing young players who are on cheaper contracts.
