In the end everyone overpays in free agency when you actually sign a player. The difference are markets like Buffalo and others where you can't even overpay players. But even then if they were a true contender it wouldn't be an issue.

Everyone said Kadri was an overpay at the time. Especially in this site. And he's a guy that actually prefers Canada. Coleman was also called an overpay for a middle 6er.
They didn't overpay for some others but they weren't really top UFAs either.
Stone turned them down flat. Gaudreau took less elsewhere.
