he was a 22 year old coming off a 36 goal season... the only steep price is the 2nd overall. but again in hindsight, the leafs had no idea they'd be that bad. say they finish more where expected and its a 9th overall, 10th overall, 32nd overall .. kessel was 22 years old ! coming off a 36 goal season.. any team is paying a premium. look at rumored asking prices for nash.. puts it in perspective. so like I said no overpayment.. maybe now knowing what we know. they payed a heavy price for a fantastic player
