Who was the young guy who was a free agent in the offseason and was offered some insane contract like 5 million per season. I thought I remembered seeing it on the finances page before and LOL'ing....but now I can't find it.
Just curious who it was!
Thanks!

Wasn't it a mistake? I remember seeing that too.

How can it be a mistake when it was a bid? I thought many GMs were in contention.

I believe it was Rene Bourque. I could be wrong, and sorry if I am, but it might have been Rob Lee because I remember he was in hot pursuit of him.

Yes, Rene Bourque was the player.
Yes, it was one of the Western Conference GMs.
Shortly after this episode I reformed the way we did the remaining players in the free agency pool. It worked beautifully and players like Rene Bourque didn't walk away with $2.5 million signing bonuses.
