go player by player and ask yourself, are they worth their cap hit based on this year's season/results...
97 - probably
29 - yes
93 - no
33 - no
19 - no
53 - no
18 - no (way too inconsistent this year)
most of the D has been pretty solid for their cap hits, maybe Nurse is still a bit overpaid, but he's better value than most of our Forwards. Our cheaper forwards have been ok, some better than ok, 90, even 92, those are solid value.
for what they get paid, Pickard is fine for value, Stu, based on this season's results, is not much a value, if any.
Basically, I'm just trying to show, that this team isn't getting much value from anyone, at any contract, at any position. Lots of issues. Their record is flattering at this point, and not earned or deserved.
