There's two wingers with a higher SC rating than him and for the role that I want with him playing with Couture on the top line he fits a lot better than guys with "better" ratings.
2 years is short as can be, I have 0 salary concerns this year or in the future so why is it close to ludicrous for his ratings?
Plenty of other guys out there that are much worse fits for my team I could spend more money on.

Thought the bid before yours was high too. I guess having to be cheap and cap conscious year in year out made me think every contract over 3 mil is too high lol.

I agree that for the most part salaries do seem very high even when you have 24 million like I do. I didn't feel singled out just wanted to show some perspective of why I would spend that much for Selanne. 3 million would also be the highest paid guy on my team with realistically only Couture making more next year so even if it is high it doesn't handcuff me going forward. I guess my reply was to show that even some overpayments to some work for others in different situations.

No one is getting any deals this FA! I can't even land a 62 OV winger for less than a million.

Ryan Miller was a great deal. I would have bid on him if I had the cap space, but had to settle for Bryz.

I had Erat pegged as a potential bargain in FA, but I guess I wasn't the only one. At nearly $5 million you'd better hope he rebounds playing with Ovy.

Stuart is the first UFA I have signed in like 2 or 3 years. Really happy to get him at a reasonable price.
