THN Writer's Poll votes Darnell Nurse the most overpaid player

[Cas]

Vlasic isn't basically a bottom pairing D-man. He's a defensive D-man who was a healthy scratch on a team that allowed over 4 goals per game last season. Now he's one year older, one year slower, and one year more injured.

Vlasic would be a bottom pair defenseman on an AHL team. He's just god-awful, and to top it off he doesn't seem to care. His contract was one of the key ones that ended the Sharks time in contention.

Whomever voted for Shesterkin is either someone with an axe to grind, a mental patient or both.

That is insulting to mental patients. Mental illness does not suggest stupidity.

Whichever person voted for Shesterkin should have their press credentials pulled.

I think they must have been thinking of 11 mil + on his next contract.

That Ryan Reaves vote is some nasty work for a $1.3M deal lol

Relatively speaking, Reaves is overpaid given he can't pass, shoot, skate or play hockey in general. He's below replacement level making above replacement level money. Certainly not a make or break type contract for Toronto, but by definition it is an overpayment.

Can certainly run his mouth at an elite level though.

The rest of votes are dumb tho. Seguins contract for example wouldn't look nearly as bad if his lower body didn't turn to dust just after signing it. Shesterkin shouldn't be anywhere near this list.
