Worst Contract On Your Team

[LeftCoast]

Loui Eriksson. He's playing better the last 6 games, but still way below the expectation of a $6M 6 year deal.

 

[Regal]

What? He's being paid $9 million and he's been average at best this year. Behind Josi and Ekholm this year and was behind Ellis all of last year. If you're the highest paid defenseman in the league who can't make god awful turnovers that lead to breakaways constantly.

But please, tell us who's Nashville's worst contract?

I'd say Subban at 9 is better than Johansen at 8 from a pure ability standpoint, but given the make up of the team I can understand Johansen being more valuable at 8. I wouldn't say any Nashville contracts are actually bad though. One of the reasons they're a good team.

 

[Pia8988]

Beleskey

 

[MMC]

Sadly it's probably Perry.

 

[CraigsList]

Brouwer.

 

[StevenF1919]

Russell, Lucic, Draisaitl. Take your pick.

Russell's is probably the worst just because he's not even a year in and he's horrendous. Lucic's will probably take another year or two to really be brutal. Drai is good but overpaid by like 2mil.

Edit: Does Chiarelli's contract count? Because if so, I pick that one.

 

[Machinehead]

Well, you're right about the Rangers.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Hagelin is obvious choice for pens. No bad contracts except him.

Letang??

 

[Shaffer]

Letang??

Not really. Let him find his game which he has the past few games.

 

[David Dennison]

Probably Steen for the Blues, 3.5 more seasons @5.75m. Still a 2nd liner, but he is injury prone, 33, slowing down.

 

[Whaleafs]

Can't say the Leafs really have a bad one. Marleau may be a tad overpaid for his age but the rest aren't bad right now.

 

[DrRad]

Okposo has overtaken Moulson

 

[Bizz]

Boedker AINEC.

4 years at 4 million and he's only good for 10 goals and 30 points max.

 

[solidprospect]

Bobby Ryan, plus hes injury prone and producing less,

 

[habsgirl5000]

Marc Bergevin

 

[cyris]

Horton.

People forget about him because he is on LTIR but his contract will cause complications with elc bonuses for 3 more seasons after this one.

 

[Statto]

Bad timing for LA. Gaborik is back and playing great. If he keeps it up he’s worth his contract, this year. The other two obvious ones are Brown and Kopitar and again both are providing value, right now.

Outside of those three usual suspects our contracts are mostly good value. The one I hate, but isn’t a disaster, is Kyle Clifford. 1.6 for a bottom 3 left wing is too much by about 600k. His production has never warranted it (6 a year, maybe) and he’s not good enough defensively for anything put a bottom end contract. Our cap issues the last couple of years made it money we could have done with.

I recognise that this makes me picky.

 

[Leonardo87]

Callahan's contract is worse than Killorn's.

I think it's the length. 5 vs 2 more years. The Cap is expected to go up a lot in the next 2 years anyway kinda nullifying that cap hit. Also with all the Clarkson's and Bolland's of that bad contract era. Callahan is still standing and playing very well. Little to show for it on the scoresheet but you can't put all the blame on him with that.

 

[Menzinger]

Can't say the Leafs really have a bad one. Marleau may be a tad overpaid for his age but the rest aren't bad right now.

Martin is overpaid considering his pretty limited usage

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Brooks Orpik a top-pairing defenseman?

 

[JoVel]

Little to show for it on the scoresheet but you can't put all the blame on him with that.

I guess it's how you look at it, Killorn's cap hit 1,35 mil less but longer, but at the moment you get more from Killorn. Callahan just hasn't been putting up much offense. Also Killorn has been a beast in the playoffs. But how that contract will look in the end is still very much up in the air.

 

[ESH]

Troy Brouwer makes $4.5 million for this season and the next 2, and he has a No-Trade Clause. He played himself down the lineup last year, ending on the 4th line, and he has 0 goals in 25 games so far this year.

 

[Pookie]

I don't know about currently but I hope Marleau's doesn't turn into one.

A 41 year old with a $6.25m cap hit and NMC.

 

[ImpartialNHLfan]

Martin is overpaid considering his pretty limited usage

idk he seems to be having a career year right now. I finally see what Babcock seen in him

Horton has the worst contract.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

The Myers contract isn't bad at all. Sure the cap hit is $5.5M, and we could argue about how much value we're getting from it, but his salary is much lower. He's getting paid $3.5M this year, and $3.0M next year, which is a bargain for small market teams. You could make a better case for Mason at this point, but that was a short-term gamble. If this is our "worst" contract, we're in good shape.
