I knew it wasn't for the 4th overall - that would've been overpayment bigtime. But this ultimately does seem cheaper than anticipated.

Anyway, 31 other teams had a chance to put up better offers and didn't. If I were a Sabres fan I'd be annoyed given the hype around Peterka, but again, other teams put up slightly worse offers. At the very least nobody came in with a knock-your-socks-off offer. Peterka suddenly jumped on the map and everyone in fandom seemed to value the guy, but NHL GMs have to do the same.
