I actually pulled the # out of my ass. Just pick any comparative contract that would, say, buy out 2 FA years.
My point is, we could make a great signing or trade that EVERYONE loves now and it could very quickly turn out to be a dud. But I'm not 2nd guesser - I judge moves based on the NOW.
For example, everyone here loves the Donaldson acquisition. Would you suddenly hate it if Donaldson ended up getting suspended for PEDs and ends up being his AAAA self? That's not fair.
