No, not at all. When you factor in a historically high shooting percentage for a player that only offers offense and is now set to likely regress quite a bit from that percentage and gets paid nearly $8mil a year? Yes, Buffalo sucks at building and trading, but he was being shopped and other GM's likely wanted a deal in place for Peterka and balked at the contract demands + assets to acquire. Buffalo did alright here, imo.
