pretty much every ufa says they were offered more and then the speculation/rumor of which team(s) beginsThere is no doubt the Clarkson signing was bad and I wonder if it's really true that Edmonton offered him more money or was it Nonis way of saying they got him at a discount? That was only reported where as with Tavares it was confirmed how San Jose offered him 7 years and $91 million, which is $13.5 million AAV.
San Jose offering JT more was never confirmed , the typical i was offered more elsewhere statement comes out then the speculation begins until one of the "insiders" throws out something like "i believe SJ offered something over 13m" and everybody runs with oh look JT turned down 13.5m per .
for it to be confirmed someone from the Sharks would have come out and said we offered x amount of dollars or at the very least one of the insiders would say he was told by Wilson they offered JT x dollars , that to my recollection never happened
JT's overpaid , he's not worth anywhere near 11m but some of our fans need to believe he was offered for some reason like it makes any difference to what his actual value is , maybe it makes people feel better another team would have overpaid him more than us , lol .
