You're mocking for sure, but there's truth to the fact that a player that can help a contender at a manageable AAV for two years is a valuable asset to contending teams. Buffalo retains 50% on that two year deal and they likely get a hell of a lot more than whatever they were offered by Calgary and St. Louis.
