Jeff Skinner: 7 years left, 9m AAV
- First off, Skinner is not nearly as bad as his points last year suggests. If not put into that shitty of a role again, I fully expect him to rebound and have a few more 30G years. That said, this was an overpay by about 2m the second it was signed. Not crippling if he can rebound like he should though.
Kyle Okposo - 3 years left, 6m AAV
- Again, a player not as bad as some on this site seem to think he is. He was a QUALITY bottom-6 guy last season in a defensive role and can still provide some offense. Still, this money should at least be cut in half to look more reasonable.
Carter Hutton - 1 year left, 2.75m
- Dude was apparently kinda blind last year...which isn't ideal for a goalie. Just one year thankfully but if he could get his confidence/sight back and perform like he used to, this might not be the worst thing. Hopefully they aren't banking on a rebound year with him playing 30+ games though.
Other not so great contracts
Cody Eakin - 2 x 2.25 (Probably the new 3C, but meh player who hopefully proves me wrong)
Zemgus Girgensons - 3 x 2.2 (Good 4th liner, but better ones signed for a lot less)
Rasmus Ristolainen - 2 x 5.4 (Just not nearly as good a D as his TOI stats suggest, still probably holds value league wide though)
Colin Miller - 2 x 3.875 (Had a baddd year last year, paid like a fringe top-4 guy so hopefully can rebound to that form)
