I'd say JJ's is worse than Matheson's. We'll have to wait until we see how Matheson does as a Penguin though.

Neal's contract is way worse than kris russell's. Russell has one year left, not really that bad of a contract.

I’d argue OEL’s contract is worse than Stepan’s

I don't think Tavares' contract is terrible. I get he didn't have his best season statistically, but he's the only one on the team that consistently shows up.

He played most of the season with a broken finger, had an oblique injury prior to the season, he was a new dad, under a coaching change, switching linemates back and forth and was still almost point per game. Not a terrible contract.

johnson is the worst contract on the pens
dubinsky is the worst contract on the jackets
tyler johnson is the worst contract on the lighting
orlov is the worst contract on the capitals
gaborik is the worst contract on the senators

but matheson is double the term at almost five mil

he can bounce back

He can now but I don’t believe he’ll keep up top pairing production the next 7 years

i agree i just think it could bad near the end due to age but its not even a bad contract

Well then he's only gonna have a year or two left. No issues there

Think Johnson and Neal have worse contracts than McDonagh and Russell, but other than that I think you're pretty close there.

mcdonagh is older, more money and term but u might be right about johnson. pretty sure dubinsky is ltir. gaborik is ltir and zaitsev is way worse. i agree with orlov

This thread is exactly why teams should never over pay in the UFA period

Panik over Hagelin but it may end up being Dillon if WSH clear some $ and re-sign him (likely overpay him).

I'd argue that Quick has the worst contract on L.A.



Gaborik doesn't even play and his contract is insured. It's a non-factor but with his cap hit, it actually helps the sens reach the floor. Zaitsev is making 2 million more than he should to play the minutes he does.

Dubinksy is on LTIR so Wenneberg is right here for his contract and production.

Faulk's deal is worse than Steen's, 1 yr left is hardly a problem, even if it may be hard to move, you don't have to live with it for 7 more seasons.

Unless holland brings in another top four d russell will be playing top four minutes without klef bringing fair value for the 4 million cap hit. Playing him on 3rd pair is when that becomes wasteful. Neal for all the flack he gets does produce goals. Is 5.7 that bad for a guy who should be able to pot 25+ goals? Kass new extension I’m not upset about but is the one I’d point to as most questionable.

Marner's is a lot worse than Tavares'.

Honestly, I think even if he plays at his 18-19 level, he's still about 2 million over what he's worth.

true i forgot about faulk but he could boince back
