hiphopaDIZZL I agree with you that his performance has been abysmal the past couple of seasons (playoffs aside), but to put it bluntly, his hands are fucked up. He's broken and rebroken several bones in his hands the last couple of seasons, and this is a guy who is known for his great hands, so naturally his play is going to decline until he has a solid stretch to recover. (Like in the playoffs last year his hands had healed pretty well, but then this season he broke another bone again).
Frank Carrozza, NO! The gap between Phaneuf’s salary and what he should be payed is bigger than what he should be payed. In short: He’s payed 7M and should be payed 3M. That’s 4M too much. Ergo Ryan is not that bad (compared to Dion)
I do disagree on Lehtonen somewhat. He may be the worst contract maybe on Dallas but he isn't bad either. he is 5-4-1 with a .913 save % and 2.44 GAA. This to me is on par with most backup goalies and is respectable. He is average but he isn't what I would call a bad backup goalie. He is a decent backup, but not a good starter. He is perfect in the role he is playing right now. And today he just got his 300th win against the Islanders so good for him! I know this video is 11 days old and he has probably shown some good stats since, like he did today.
“Islanders need to clear the cap space, so they have the money for when Tavares doesn’t resign with them” I’ve never openly laughed at a TH-cam video before, but that changed today 😂
aC 17 Ya, this guy talks alot of shit... You can tell when he pronounces some of the players names... Lol Emelins a pretty decent, hard hitting dman... Il take him any day at just over 4 mil compared to a guy like Phanuef at 7 mil....
Alex Stenberg He makes a hair under 4.8 mil, and they lucked into Kucherov playing really good on that contract. But if he had had this type of production before he signed his deal... cha ching!!
jett lax k. I’ll give him 7 mill without even looking at his stats. I could tell his a 50 goal scorer this season. Let’s sign him for 6 years Patrick Stephan welcome abroad
@@mikecortivo8949 Players like Kopitar, Kesler, Bergeron, etc. aren't getting paid huge dollars to put up a ton of points. There is more to hockey than getting points.
Nakamura Hiroshima Honda Civic Miyamoto OwO wym kopitar is on a 8 year contract worth 80million and had 92 points last year pls the top players in the league who get a lot of points are on high level contracts
@@mikecortivo8949 That's also the only time in his career that he was over a point per game. He's obviously great offensively, but there are players who make less money than him and put up more points. What sets him apart from them though is that he's consistently one of the best defensive forwards in the league.
Kari Lehtonen one of the worst backups in the league? Like what? Hell nah. Tbh hes at least t10 backup. Even can make an argument that hes t6 mayby. Yes hes expensive but one of the worst in the league, just no.
Dr. Drew yea I completely disagree with him on this one it isn't like they are paying 5 mil a year plus he is there as an enforcer and Toronto needs an enforcer
Eveyone thet gets hockey knows that without martins services the kids in toronto are open to what ever crap fron dirty players all over the league. This video is BS. Even the money for Marleau is well spent looking after and getting the young players to develop ok.
Lasse Kongo looks like that taking martin out of the line up has done exactly what you said. And now matthews is injured because of it! dumb move scratching him. I knew it was coming.
"Washington doesn't have bad contracts" yeah right. That Kuzy deal and even the Orlov one is scary. Orpik's is obviously horrible, but after that there are more questionable ones. Good video though
Kuznetsov is the future and a player you can build around. I watch every Caps game and the guy has unreal skill, Im talking nearlt Datsyuk stick handling with some of the most graceful skating, gliding. He is a natural puck handler, breakout guy, playmaker, and he has a good shot. The only thing we have not seen from him is the killer instinct, the finishing touch, he still has trouble completing his plays with goals, therefore his production suffers from this. He is still very young, maybe in time he will learn how to finish more consistently. But he is well worth the investment, imo, and a franchise player if he capitalizes on his skillset. Not all franchise players need be Canadien.
ezwelchman I can see it both ways. Like I agree, he's not great at hockey 😂 but Ur paying him for his leadership. Do they resign him, hopefully no😂 but is the contract terrible rn, not really
SuperNova GD. I’m from Buffalo and watched A lot of Myers Career. Compared to his Rookie season he is nowhere near the player he was but I agree. Even top 4 Defenseman get reasonably big contracts. I didn’t mind his raise at all.
Matt Martin is gone but Lou brought him in and then brought him to the Isles. Nice guy and a local Windsor boy who my wife met once. One of her coworkers went to high school with Matt and last year came down with Uncle Leo to hang out with his buddies.
TheGannonCannon 913 From a Montreal fan, I was disappointed we lost him, he'll never be the best D man in the world, but he's a team player, can put great hits on guys, for me defo 2nd D Pairing, really liked the guy.
Marcus Kruger is worth the money. I'm from Chicago and id take his cap hit any day of the week. What he did and was still doing for our penalty kill, face-offs, as well as making each line mate look better. I haven't followed him since the trade, but having him back on the hawks couldn't make things worse then they currently are
Brandon Beck as someone from Chicago , my second team is Carolina because of all the hawks there, and you’re right. Rask is so bad, has like 8 points this season
Paul Courcelles So? Every player on this list is loved by their team even though they have a bad contract. Matt Martin for example is loved by teammates but has an awful contract
Lucic is the Oilers best fighter/tough guy so he's worth all of that! He wasn't brought here to replace Gretzky...lol But you may be right about how well he ages during his contract as he is a hard hitting player physical player. However, points and tough play/intimidation equal the best tough guy you could hope for and if the Oilers had more depth, Lucic would be playing on McDavids line and killing it! Plus the Oilers would be doing better :)
As for the Jets and Myers, A. Winnipeg didn't sign that deal and Buffalo did. B. Buffalo paid out the majority of the actual cash value of the deal before trading him to Winnipeg (Winnipeg only pays out $3.454 mil/year)
Minnesota fan here. You might be right about Ennis. However, he was acquired by trading away Pominville who would've been the pick if still in the team, and Ennis is cheaper. If you wanna be honest, though, Parise's contact is the worst since he hasn't even played in a game yet this season.
Jack Johnson is actually a really good d-man. I think the fact that he plays in a small market and doesn’t put up a ton of points skews your view of him. He’s solid and would be a top 4 on any team except Nashville maybe.
I don't think Matheson's contract is bad... I think he's really underrated. Great skater. Kulemin's contract is coming to an end, but Andrew Ladd still has his for a long time... I think that's going to be much more of a problem for the Islanders. It's pretty impressive to see how well some teams have managed their cap though... Nashville and Tampa have done really well.
viewernewest he has to continue his style even though it puts him at risk of injuries, because he is most productive when he is getting to the front of the met and grinding
The thing about Jack Johnson of CBJ is that he isn't that bad of a defense man. I do agree that his contract is probly the biggest but we did just sign Cam Atkinson for about the same but Cam is very much on his game.
I would take seabrooks contract all day. So underrated defensively, brings us grit on the blue line, has a cannon from the point, always has 150+ shot blocks. If we traded for oduya and kept hjalmarsson we could have had the best defense in the West.
How on earth you think Killorn’s contract is worse than Callahan’s. I’m a bolts fan and i think Killorn’s contract is little bit too much but he is a big piece of the team.
I don't know...Maybe he was worth that cap hit at the time of signing, but committing to that deal until he's 41? Knowing he already had a big injury? And now the Wild are blocked with a deal that is almost impossible to buy out, trade (full NMC) and (if I'm not wrong) faces a cap recapture penalty should he retire...
General Rock Im a Habs fan... I agree with Webber being the worst contract... I thought that as soon as the deal went down. I think they should find a trade partner for him right now while he still has value... Can you imagine paying almost 9 mil to a 40 year old?? Lol And they would bring Markov back at 39 for 5.5 mil....
Some of these contracts were bad at the time they signed them (MacDonald and Phaneuf for example), but others you can't say they are bad if the player performed well and to their price for half of it? some of these good players wouldn't sign for short term deals, someone would always offer LT.
I'd do a few changes. First I'd make a small change to the rules and make contracts signed by the current team a priority over those traded AND I'd look more at the future so contracts that expire this or next season would be "less bad" then the once with 5-6 years left. So with that said: Ottawa - Bobby Ryan. He's paid more then Phaneuf and have a year more on his contract. Yes, he's two years younger and only gets 250k more but Ottawa signed this themselfs. Tampa - I understand the point you're making but Killorns 4,45 isn't breaking the bank and it stops when he's 33. If he remains with the Bolts the entire contract then he'll still be a useful player, overpaid by 1 mil. Callahans contract goes on for two more years after this and pays 5,8. That is the worst contract in Tampa! Carolina - I see your point and won't argue a lot since it's a valid point. But I still want to mention Scott Darlings 4,15. He can still be a solid starter but 21 games and .900 don't scream Cup-winner. He's paid more then Vasilevsky, Murray and Gibson. Columbus - Johnson is a solid second pair D and on his last year. It's not the worst contract. Dubinsky is 31, gets 5,85 and have three more years after this.. to be.. third line center? Third line LW? The contract is awful. Islanders - Yes Kulomins contract isn't good but he's not even TOP 3 in the worst contract list in isles! They have Boychuk at 33 years old, 6 mil and four years left after this! They have two fourth liners in Cizikas and Clutterbuck making a combined 6,85 mil salary!!!! For two and three more years!!!! Pittsburgh - Just as with the Canes I want to mention someone else. Dumolin. Yes Hagelins 4 mil isn't great but he still carries value to be traded and only have one year left. Dumolin is a limited defender who've functioned in the system the pens play. He should be paid 2,5 for 4 years. He's paid 4,1 for 6 years. That's the contract I'd point out. Minnesota - Is Parise out of the conversation cause he's LTIR? He's not out for the remainder of hos career and when he's back his contract will once again be one of the worst in the league! And if he's out I'd pick Suters contract, the Parise-twin. Suter is today one of the top defenders in the league! But he is 32 years old and his contract goes on to 2025 with the caphit 7,54. He'll be about 40 when the contract is up.. Will he still be a top defender then? Winnipeg - I might argue that Byfugliens 7,6 for three more years is worse then Myers 5,5 for one more. Anaheim - Bieksas' 4 m is awful today but comes off the books this summer. Perry have 8,63 for three more years and Kesler have 6,88 for four more years.. I'd name one of them.
This video seems scattered with unfair and even biased assessments at times. Zajac has been injured and though he has picked up his play in the past week, many Devils fans feel that he is playing injured, since he came back from his injury much earlier than expected. Kulemin was signed alongside Grabovski to the Islanders with the hopes that they would score a lot together again like when Kulemin scored 30 goals for Toronto before the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl plane crash, even without Clarke MacArthur. Yeah, despite his skill and nice hands resulting in the obvious need for him to shoot more and perhaps move up a line or two, his current price is a bit steep for the points he has been putting up, his first year with the Islanders was the best one so far, with 31 points, but his penalty killing / defense mattered all the time and it showed since he has been injured early in the 2017 - 2018 season. Who are you to suggest that Tavares will not resign with the Islanders? The season is still young and there are developments to be made as soon as January, such as Belmont Park or whatever alternative arena deal may need to be made (Bruce Ratner really dug a hole for himself in cutting up the Barclays Center to get tax breaks for billionaires that poorer taxpayers will need to pay for and get nothing out of, but it is still much better than sticky floors MSG).
Who on the hell said Emelin is "considered one I of the worst defensemen in the league "?He's physical as he'll and hits like freight train.One of the problems in Montreal now is they only have finesse defensemen. Subban and Emelin and Josh Georges kept the front of the net clear.They've got nobody like that now.
ReepsFilms yeah I'm a leafs fan so I was so excited when they got him from Calgary cuz he was an elite defenseman back then but once he was traded he sucked and never got good again
For the wild it will definitely be Zach praise and Ryan suter and I would also say Jordan greenway and Matthew Dumba I mean greenway is ok but he really not that notice able and dumba is always hurt
![WORST CONTRACT ON ALL 31 NHL TEAMS [2018]](/img/n.gif)
Bobby ryan contract is worse than Phaneufs.
I thought that too until his playoff performance last spring, I think he's starting to get more comfortable in Ottawa
bobby ryan deserves the #1 spot on ottawa lol only 1 goal so far this year
hiphopaDIZZL I agree with you that his performance has been abysmal the past couple of seasons (playoffs aside), but to put it bluntly, his hands are fucked up.

EDM Mcdavids yes the contract is terrible, but he isn't "the worst backup in the league"
spezza's contract is worse than lehtonens
“Islanders need to clear the cap space, so they have the money for when Tavares doesn’t resign with them”
I’ve never openly laughed at a TH-cam video before, but that changed today 😂
Tampa’s worst contract is Callahan
Hux Zinthy He’s alright. Doesn’t score much goals tho and he gets paid more than Stammer. His cap should be no more than 3 mil.
He should be on a two-way deal. He's straight up awful
Nah, it's Sustr.
Charlie Campbell sustr is our worst player. But worst contract has to be Callahan or killorn
One of the few things the rangers did right, too bad there's Girardi, Henrik's back end, Staal, Nash&Smith.....
Emelin is okay he’s not one of the worst defence in the game
aC 17
Ya, this guy talks alot of shit...
You can tell when he pronounces some of the players names...
Lol
Emelins a pretty decent, hard hitting dman...
Il take him any day at just over 4 mil compared to a guy like Phanuef at 7 mil....
splash Any Day for 4 mil... That's Kucherov money. Emelin should be paid 4 million rubel.
Alex Stenberg
He makes a hair under 4.8 mil, and they lucked into Kucherov playing really good on that contract.
But if he had had this type of production before he signed his deal... cha ching!!
Emelin was good when he played with the habs still questioning why the habs did not protect him over Benn he was fine not great not bad ethier
Next do the best contracts
Good idea! I’ll look into it!
Wayne Simmonds, Nikita Kucherov's current bridge deal, Nazem Kadri, Thomas Vanek (doing well rn for 2M), Teravainen
Mark Scheifele- 6M
Connor Brown has an amazing contract
Pacioretty 4.5
Holy crap, stop basing everything off of points
jett lax k. I’ll give him 7 mill without even looking at his stats. I could tell his a 50 goal scorer this season. Let’s sign him for 6 years Patrick Stephan welcome abroad
The more points u get per season the more money u get it’s common sense
@@mikecortivo8949 Players like Kopitar, Kesler, Bergeron, etc. aren't getting paid huge dollars to put up a ton of points. There is more to hockey than getting points.

Pukki Joulu toivotaan että ei ollu tosissaan 😄
polluriGAMING yes but I'm not going to pay a backup goalie 4+ mil a year
He is on the last year of that contract
I like Matt Martin. I like him being on the Leafs
I seriously miss him so much on the isles
Didn't like the contract last year, but he has been playing much better so far this season. Hopefully he keeps it up.
Guys watch all highlights of the best players from each team
Video starts at 1:10
New Jersey just doesn’t have many bad contacts. What about the Andy Greene cap hit of 5m for another 5 years for a bottom 4 defencemen
Martin is worth every penny of the 2.5 million.
Dr. Drew yea I completely disagree with him on this one it isn't like they are paying 5 mil a year plus he is there as an enforcer and Toronto needs an enforcer
Eveyone thet gets hockey knows that without martins services the kids in toronto are open to what ever crap fron dirty players all over the league. This video is BS. Even the money for Marleau is well spent looking after and getting the young players to develop ok.
when your "worst" contract is 2.5M per year, a GM is doing pretty good. I agree, Martin is definitely worth it.
Lasse Kongo looks like that taking martin out of the line up has done exactly what you said. And now matthews is injured because of it! dumb move scratching him. I knew it was coming.
"Washington doesn't have bad contracts" yeah right. That Kuzy deal and even the Orlov one is scary. Orpik's is obviously horrible, but after that there are more questionable ones. Good video though
Hooded excuse me all of those players that you guys are naming are pretty good. And I'm not only saying this as a caps fan but just to show respect
And that those players all scored in one game
Kuznetsov is the future and a player you can build around. I watch every Caps game and the guy has unreal skill, Im talking nearlt Datsyuk stick handling with some of the most graceful skating, gliding. He is a natural puck handler, breakout guy, playmaker, and he has a good shot. The only thing we have not seen from him is the killer instinct, the finishing touch, he still has trouble completing his plays with goals, therefore his production suffers from this.

Not all franchise players need be Canadien.
Hooded Le contract de TJ Oshie est aussi très mauvaise
Turns out kuzy can play in the playoffs. Still a bad contract? I agree with orlovs.
You should do the greatest teams to be swept in the first round
That’s a really good idea, I’ll look into that!
Thanks man
Chicago blackhawks last year lmao
So you want a video about the Hawks then Chad? :)
Lightning
Wait what no price neither Weber to worst contract for the habs?
Montréal : Plekanec, 6 million 28 points/year
Justin Rosman yea, price is a recent contract, that's why everyone is talking about it, especially since he's underperforming
One off bad season, he can hit 50 pts a season
James Hatfield no he can't
Habs has is fair share of bad contract (Shaw,Petry,Price,Alzner,Pleckanek,Weber)
Emelin isn't that bad. He's not the best, but he's not bad
Bridget Nicholson yeah this guy just hates on any player that doesn’t score more than 20 goals a year including dmen
Emelin fills a good niche.
Martin for 2.5 isn't terrible
Matt Hargest well he had to pick someone but as a leaf fan Pollack is easily the worst because he should not be an nhl plrr
As an islander fan I agree. Miss him tbh
it's goddamn awful.... he's making more than Brown and Hyman... and he doesn't score or kill penalties
ezwelchman I can see it both ways. Like I agree, he's not great at hockey 😂 but Ur paying him for his leadership. Do they resign him, hopefully no😂 but is the contract terrible rn, not really
Myers isn't that bad
SuperNova GD. I’m from Buffalo and watched A lot of Myers Career. Compared to his Rookie season he is nowhere near the player he was but I agree. Even top 4 Defenseman get reasonably big contracts. I didn’t mind his raise at all.
HE CALLED JT NOT RESIGNING ON THE ISLAND LMAOOO
Callahans contract is way worse than killorns
Tyler Myers GP 63, 6 goals, 27 assists, 33 pts and plus 8 this season. Pretty good year for Myers.
Matt Martin is gone but Lou brought him in and then brought him to the Isles. Nice guy and a local Windsor boy who my wife met once. One of her coworkers went to high school with Matt and last year came down with Uncle Leo to hang out with his buddies.
Emelin started off a little slow for Nashville but he’s really started to pick it up for us
TheGannonCannon 913 From a Montreal fan, I was disappointed we lost him, he'll never be the best D man in the world, but he's a team player, can put great hits on guys, for me defo 2nd D Pairing, really liked the guy.
Martin is worth the money
Hah, how many of these were playing for Boston 2-4 years ago? Beleskey, Lucic, Soderberg, Eriksson. Thanks, Peter C. =)
Marcus Kruger is worth the money. I'm from Chicago and id take his cap hit any day of the week. What he did and was still doing for our penalty kill, face-offs, as well as making each line mate look better. I haven't followed him since the trade, but having him back on the hawks couldn't make things worse then they currently are
Jay Lew ur an idiot
Jay Lew such an underrated sweeeede
Anyone who watches the team, knows that Victor Rask is the worst contract.
Brandon Beck as someone from Chicago , my second team is Carolina because of all the hawks there, and you’re right. Rask is so bad, has like 8 points this season
Not Myers
Enstrom... easy one
But the team loves him
But id have to agree
Paul Courcelles So? Every player on this list is loved by their team even though they have a bad contract. Matt Martin for example is loved by teammates but has an awful contract
Man enstroms contract is way worse
Surprised Andrew Ladd’s not on here
ROLO why would it
Guys actually playing well this season so far
Honestly I expected to see him on here
He is getting better but I think he should be on there
Still not worth the cap hit, or the term
Datsyuk's contract was up in 2016 after last season.
Emelin isn't bad and Lehtonen is having really good year now.
I really enjoy your stuff man!
Emelin is not « one of the worst defensemen in the league . » Hes a solid second or third pairing d-man who plays with physicality
Karl Alzner is a stay at home defenseman. Points aren't included in that role. Same for Brooks Orpik.
Lucic is the Oilers best fighter/tough guy so he's worth all of that! He wasn't brought here to replace Gretzky...lol But you may be right about how well he ages during his contract as he is a hard hitting player physical player. However, points and tough play/intimidation equal the best tough guy you could hope for and if the Oilers had more depth, Lucic would be playing on McDavids line and killing it! Plus the Oilers would be doing better :)
dude watch hockey martin is worth 2.5 mil
As for the Jets and Myers, A. Winnipeg didn't sign that deal and Buffalo did. B. Buffalo paid out the majority of the actual cash value of the deal before trading him to Winnipeg (Winnipeg only pays out $3.454 mil/year)
When the Wild signed Parise and Suter, I thought for sure we'd take _at least_ one cup.
Ennis has been picking up his game of late, but he needs to play well more consistently.
love the sad beat on all your vids!
You have to remember it’s not all about points, look at Patrice Bergeron, pretty good points but he is and elite 2 way forward
Matheson is actually proving himself this year.
Good list picked the flames player we'll. Good to see TH-cam's actually do research. Keep pumping out vids.
Flames IS Pretty SOLID ! Since Kipper IS Gone !
Minnesota fan here. You might be right about Ennis. However, he was acquired by trading away Pominville who would've been the pick if still in the team, and Ennis is cheaper. If you wanna be honest, though, Parise's contact is the worst since he hasn't even played in a game yet this season.
B Rand I was thinking the same thing. His contract along with Sutter’s are the same correct?
John Nicholas . Yup. They have the same contact.
Jack Johnson is actually a really good d-man. I think the fact that he plays in a small market and doesn’t put up a ton of points skews your view of him. He’s solid and would be a top 4 on any team except Nashville maybe.
I don't think Matheson's contract is bad... I think he's really underrated. Great skater. Kulemin's contract is coming to an end, but Andrew Ladd still has his for a long time... I think that's going to be much more of a problem for the Islanders. It's pretty impressive to see how well some teams have managed their cap though... Nashville and Tampa have done really well.
I would've picked Zach Parise for Minnesota. His style of play, combined with his age, and length of contract, make him trade and buyout proof.
viewernewest he has to continue his style even though it puts him at risk of injuries, because he is most productive when he is getting to the front of the met and grinding
The thing about Jack Johnson of CBJ is that he isn't that bad of a defense man. I do agree that his contract is probly the biggest but we did just sign Cam Atkinson for about the same but Cam is very much on his game.
I would take seabrooks contract all day. So underrated defensively, brings us grit on the blue line, has a cannon from the point, always has 150+ shot blocks. If we traded for oduya and kept hjalmarsson we could have had the best defense in the West.
No you couldn't have..... Calgary and winnipeg have that beat
Kari lehtonen isn't really that bad tho he looked bad last year because the stars didn't have a defense at all but his stats are pretty good
Thank you for putting Kari in there for Dallas. as a Stars fan, I can even say Kari isn’t very good at all.
for the islanders its aculally Rick dipeitro they pay him till 2020 even though he hasnt played in like 8 years
How on earth you think Killorn’s contract is worse than Callahan’s. I’m a bolts fan and i think Killorn’s contract is little bit too much but he is a big piece of the team.
Maybe, i don't know, i just think he sucks from watching him
I dont think the Brooks Orpik contract is all that bad considering what he brings defensively and the success the team has had!
Great vid
How about doing a list of the worst contract from the player's perspective?
For the Detroit Redwings it should be the entire team.
Oilers are my team and you are absolutely correct about Lucic.
what are you saying about Alexei Emelin contract??? he’s a strong defensman
Emelin is actually decent in his role with Nashville.
Well Zach Parise is a good contender for worst deal in Minnesota, now he's too prone to injuries (his last full season came in 2013)
Yes in fact I think it is the worst contract in the league.
I don't know...Maybe he was worth that cap hit at the time of signing, but committing to that deal until he's 41? Knowing he already had a big injury? And now the Wild are blocked with a deal that is almost impossible to buy out, trade (full NMC) and (if I'm not wrong) faces a cap recapture penalty should he retire...
Parise is the Rick Nash of the West.
Nice vid!
Please do a 2019 version of this
Gaborik was a beast in his prime 😩
Weber
General Rock
Im a Habs fan...
I agree with Webber being the worst contract...
I thought that as soon as the deal went down. I think they should find a trade partner for him right now while he still has value...
Can you imagine paying almost 9 mil to a 40 year old??
Lol
And they would bring Markov back at 39 for 5.5 mil....
splash yup exactly
WEBER is worse contract then Shaw or alzer Shaw is getting payed 4 million dollars to take bad penalties Shea Weber should be the captain!
As a Jet fan, I would've said Byfuglien.
Some of these contracts were bad at the time they signed them (MacDonald and Phaneuf for example), but others you can't say they are bad if the player performed well and to their price for half of it? some of these good players wouldn't sign for short term deals, someone would always offer LT.
Le caCadien auraient du échanger le petit "Prince" contre un bon gardien et un attaquant de qualité
Great list, but Alex Killorn is good player on both sides of ice with killer instincts in playoffs. He deserve it.
Boomeester 😂😂😂 omfg you said his name so wrong 😂😂😂
hahahaha booooooomeester my b
DAMN IT JoJo hd I was gonna saw that
Karl Alzner really he hasn’t missed a game for like 450 games he is fourth in most games played without missing one
On the New York Rangers it's not Marc Staal it's Rick Nash
While Kari is overpaid, he is actually having a good season as a backup. I'd say Spezza for Dallas
I'd do a few changes. First I'd make a small change to the rules and make contracts signed by the current team a priority over those traded AND I'd look more at the future so contracts that expire this or next season would be "less bad" then the once with 5-6 years left.
So with that said:
Ottawa - Bobby Ryan. He's paid more then Phaneuf and have a year more on his contract. Yes, he's two years younger and only gets 250k more but Ottawa signed this themselfs.
Tampa - I understand the point you're making but Killorns 4,45 isn't breaking the bank and it stops when he's 33. If he remains with the Bolts the entire contract then he'll still be a useful player, overpaid by 1 mil. Callahans contract goes on for two more years after this and pays 5,8. That is the worst contract in Tampa!
Carolina - I see your point and won't argue a lot since it's a valid point. But I still want to mention Scott Darlings 4,15. He can still be a solid starter but 21 games and .900 don't scream Cup-winner. He's paid more then Vasilevsky, Murray and Gibson.
Columbus - Johnson is a solid second pair D and on his last year. It's not the worst contract.
Dubinsky is 31, gets 5,85 and have three more years after this.. to be.. third line center? Third line LW? The contract is awful.
Islanders - Yes Kulomins contract isn't good but he's not even TOP 3 in the worst contract list in isles! They have Boychuk at 33 years old, 6 mil and four years left after this! They have two fourth liners in Cizikas and Clutterbuck making a combined 6,85 mil salary!!!! For two and three more years!!!!
Pittsburgh - Just as with the Canes I want to mention someone else. Dumolin. Yes Hagelins 4 mil isn't great but he still carries value to be traded and only have one year left. Dumolin is a limited defender who've functioned in the system the pens play. He should be paid 2,5 for 4 years. He's paid 4,1 for 6 years. That's the contract I'd point out.
Minnesota - Is Parise out of the conversation cause he's LTIR? He's not out for the remainder of hos career and when he's back his contract will once again be one of the worst in the league! And if he's out I'd pick Suters contract, the Parise-twin. Suter is today one of the top defenders in the league! But he is 32 years old and his contract goes on to 2025 with the caphit 7,54. He'll be about 40 when the contract is up.. Will he still be a top defender then?
Winnipeg - I might argue that Byfugliens 7,6 for three more years is worse then Myers 5,5 for one more.
Anaheim - Bieksas' 4 m is awful today but comes off the books this summer. Perry have 8,63 for three more years and Kesler have 6,88 for four more years.. I'd name one of them.
Very good analysis, I'd have to agree with you on pretty much all of those! Good arguments, thank you for taking the time to share your opinion!
If you get injured really bad and your off the ice for a year will you still get paid
Wrong about sabres you could say okposo, Oreilly .
Damn that Brent Seabrook contract is bad and will probably only keep getting worse.
Mark Staals NMC turns into a modified NTC after this season and he can be traded
The bruins are still paying part of lucic’s contract
james eller No. Lucic was signed by the Oilers as a free agent. Peter Chiarelli likes Lucic...
The Bruins only paid one year of Lucic's contract (the year he was with LA). As Alex said, he has since been signed by Chiarelli for 6mil/yr.
Andrew MacDonald is really under rated. Watch him play and you will understand why they paid so much.
Perry’s contract is waaaayyyy worst than bieksa. 9 million for 19 goals is crazy
For the rangers it should be henrick
You chose kilorn over ryan Callahan?
Alzner is worth every penny, just because he isn’t a goal scorer doesn’t mean he’s overpaid
This video seems scattered with unfair and even biased assessments at times.
Zajac has been injured and though he has picked up his play in the past week, many Devils fans feel that he is playing injured, since he came back from his injury much earlier than expected. Kulemin was signed alongside Grabovski to the Islanders with the hopes that they would score a lot together again like when Kulemin scored 30 goals for Toronto before the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl plane crash, even without Clarke MacArthur. Yeah, despite his skill and nice hands resulting in the obvious need for him to shoot more and perhaps move up a line or two, his current price is a bit steep for the points he has been putting up, his first year with the Islanders was the best one so far, with 31 points, but his penalty killing / defense mattered all the time and it showed since he has been injured early in the 2017 - 2018 season.
Who are you to suggest that Tavares will not resign with the Islanders? The season is still young and there are developments to be made as soon as January, such as Belmont Park or whatever alternative arena deal may need to be made (Bruce Ratner really dug a hole for himself in cutting up the Barclays Center to get tax breaks for billionaires that poorer taxpayers will need to pay for and get nothing out of, but it is still much better than sticky floors MSG).
Who on the hell said Emelin is "considered one I of the worst defensemen in the league "?He's physical as he'll and hits like freight train.One of the problems in Montreal now is they only have finesse defensemen. Subban and Emelin and Josh Georges kept the front of the net clear.They've got nobody like that now.
That's exactly why he's one of the worst. He's slow and puts himself out of position to hit
Y'all crazy, I see 31 contracts I'll gladly take.
I hear him say "Phaneuf is a good NHL defenseman" and I just deleted TH-cam, then reinstalled to say this :)
Ah see, then you must've missed the next part :)
ReepsFilms yeah I'm a leafs fan so I was so excited when they got him from Calgary cuz he was an elite defenseman back then but once he was traded he sucked and never got good again
yeah people forget how good Phaneuf used to be
where's calgary's? brouwer's contract deserves to be on here
He's doing it by division, and pacific is the last one. And you bet it's Brouwer lol.
haha was my bad i looked though the description and didnt see calgary on that list
Do top ten players who were drafted twice
Name 10....
I think brent burns disagrees that paul martin is terrible. The norris trophy backs that up.
For the Hurricanes I would say Scott Darlings contract is worse 4 yrs 16mil
For the Sens you could also do Bobby Ryan
For the wild it will definitely be Zach praise and Ryan suter and I would also say Jordan greenway and Matthew Dumba I mean greenway is ok but he really not that notice able and dumba is always hurt
For the bruins it should be rask or chara or maybe krejci
If matt martin can keep marner happy,then marner could be the best he can be
I would have swapped the rangeres player with nash
I agree that Lehtonen's paycheck is too big, but he is not even close to the worst backup goalies in the NHL
Drisaital is worse then Lucic if you ask me
U didnt do Columbus??
As a wild fan there is to many to count trading Brent burns for devin setigucci and Danny heatley like wtf
