My whole point wasn’t ‘this GM is dumb’, so good job distilling it down to that, then saying it’s wrong. Internet board level take on an internet board post.

That’s not what I was distilling your take down to.
The point is this: the NHL changes. You’re talking like things haven’t changed, and that outliers don’t affect change. It’s wishful. Trotting out things like “we can’t pay him top 10 money if he’s now top ten player” without looking at all the top ten players NOT being paid that money, or other completely irrelevant factors as reasoning behind your position is just really naive. It doesn’t make a lot of sense.
Even balking at 9-9.5/8 and then throwing out 7.2 over 5. UFA years cost money, 3 more years of them costs money.
1.8 extra per year for 3 extra years of UFA isn’t even remotely unrealistic.
