Obviously the Bruins are in “Win Now” mode, and in the desperation to stack the odds, a GM will pay more. If you were a GM for a team failing to make the playoffs, and Don Sweeney called about a player, and you know he wants to win now, that player’s value suddenly got higher.
In this above scenario, I think it is an overpayment. However, it is cost the Bruins Vaakanainen to win the Cup it will be done. Don Sweeney and the Bruins are not worried about next season. The are focused on the now.
