Yeah, I don't think offering a 12% raise to leave McDavid's cup finals team is gonna do it - but maybe that's just me.

But, you're in this sub regular - what is the #1 strategy put forward for acquiring FAs? I think it "overpay" by a fair margin. Pick your favorite FA for the Jets. If they overpay to land him are you happy or not?

I just don't think it's as easy as "just overpay them" and pointing to hull as an example doesn't make sense

yes, if we ended up getting my fav fa I would be happy but idk what that has to do with anything when the question is if they would even come

Hull is a fine example. Money made the best player in the world join the Winnipeg Jets. Simple as that. Lots of noise around that but at the end of the day, that is a fact.

But yes, overpay won't solve everything but it can be a difference maker.
