You know full well that you underpaid because he was a pending FA and wanted to go to NY.
Not that I'm complaining. I got BOOM for free for a season, plus a cup, and then effectively Jardy. Tordahl just gravitates towards promising good teams.
Davos had also won the S24 cup over Toronto, just like S38. Davos also has more cups than Calgary, and two ahead including S7 Avangard. Plus S11+S13 is only other time (apart from S36+S38) a generation has won two cups apart from the back-to-backs you mentioned. Davos is already the best franchise in league history.
