You have to pay sometimes to get a player who may want to go to a more desirable location. It is a one year deal, no long term ramifications for overpaying.

Sabres locker room needs some vets who have been there, done that to change the culture imo.

Also Bots believes in using the farm system. If these guys prove to be too slow or old guys who perform in the AHL can come up as the season progresses. Happened all the time in PIT.

He seems to be shooting for the 2020-2025 window. Let Stat/Dahlin grow, rid the team of Murray's mistakes, and build a farm system full of guys who can come in and contribute on the cheap.
