75% of the players are overpaid? I think you are falling towards exaggeration to prove your point. I think Price, Gallagher, Drouin, Savard are overpaid. You probably got others on the list but that would be marginal at best. It's not 75% bud but we are loosing games so as always, it's going to be presented as it being worse than it really is.
Price might well be one of the only vets not overpaid lol... wether or not that % of cap for a goalie makes sense or not, is a different question. but as he showed in carrying the team to 3 playoff series wins last spring, he is elite and when at his best, among the top 3-5 most valuable players in the leauge.
Gallagher, Drouin, Anderson, Armia, Dvorak, Byron, Chiarot, Savard, Hoffman, Petry... most of our vets are either overpaid for what they contribute, or on track to be so in short order if they decline even a touch from their current level as they move into/further along their 30's... unless the cap goes up significantly.
& yeah... veteran players paid to perform that aren't able to do so and as a result, the team loses a lot more games than they win, are by definition "overpaid"... what could they be paid for if not to perform and help the team win
