A truly desperate GM overpaid up north, and a very green one who apparently got a job based on his history with analytics more so than based on his NHL network and skill at negotiations.
Point is that an RFA has one (1) team to negotiate with, and zero (0) other ways to play in the NHL for several years.
Any GM that overpaid is, in my opinion, a dumbass. Tre appears to be a savvy negotiator and not a dumbass.
