Laf and others

Kotkaniemi's deal was 1 year, not 6. That was the entire point. Overpay for 1 year so it doesn't hamstring the organization and then sign him to a fair deal. This is poor execution

That's an awful overpayment for TK. You can drop Teravainen at least. Otherwise, I don't mind it. You have to view the Philly 2nd as a late 1st because that is essentially what it is

Okay fair enough... I misremembered the details

1 x 6,300,035 with a $20 signing bonus

He signed the 8 x 4.82 extension at the deadline of the same year

That overpaying for one year and then getting a reasonable extension next year would make a lot sense considering our cap situation for the next few years

Who could refuse a twenty dollar bonus.
