Ignoring players on their entry-level deals:
Montreal
Best:
Kirby Dach
On the assumption that he returns healthy and remains so.
Sean Monahan
If he actually stays healthy because he's likely been our best forward.
Mike Matheson
A player paid like a second pairing defenseman who performs largely like a second pairing defensemen, on average.
Yeah. That sounds pretty anemic for "best contracts."
Worst:
Brendan Gallagher
Barely an NHLer at this point due his having broken down physically. Being paid nine million dollars this year.
Josh Anderson
He's fast. That's it. That's the extent of his skills.
Joel Armia
He... has a dominant shot in the AHL, and could be effective at protecting the puck along the boards, if he cared or was able to find any kind of consistency.
HM (Worst):
Nick Suzuki - Wildly overpaid and overrated.
Jake Allen - A 2B goaltender, but he'll be off the books soon in terms of the rebuild period.
Christian Dvorak - A fourth line center.
