I see your point. When you overpay middling players (i.e. Marleau) that's when you get into trouble. Overpaying a bit for stars like JT is fine.
Never ever ever ever overpay for anything in life, ever. With a cap system it's like shooting yourself in the foot when suddenly your D man now needs a 2m raise you can't give without creating tons of hassles and minor moves. It sounds fine at the time, then when you are busting your ass off to fix the issue you will curse your own stupidity.
Fair value or better! We got fair value on JT, it was a great deal.
