Overpay based on a 1 year spike
GM's don't care. Odds are they aren't going to be in power in 8 years and if they don't sign these deals they probably lose their jobs even sooner.At some point the GM' are going to have to stop giving out 8-year deals for mega bucks to 30 year olds. As a Flyers phan I can't stand the Couturier contract, and we will live to regret it. However, this makes the Couturier contract look like a bargain...
