I think that COVID is going to be a blessing in disguise for Erik Karlsson. Dude has been battling injuries for the last few years, so a massive break should really help him bounce back.
ZZSS tbh what’s scary to me is that EK65’s contract is only the third worst contract on your blue line. Burns’ and Vlasic’s deals are much, much worse than Karlsson’s.
I’ve been praying that him finally getting a chance to get healthy will improve his game. Sharks absolutely need him to perform next season because they’ve pretty much locked themselves up on that contract.
Joseph Lawson to perfect scenarios that could happen. Seattle takes either Vlasic or Burns in the expansion draft (most likely Burns) and Erik Karlsson has a bounce back into the top defensemen in the league. And as an added bonus, if Merkley makes a good transition to the NHL.
They can get some use out of Abdelkader playing him on the fourth line. They just have accept they are over paying for a checker and not expect him to score. If you are not scoring goals, you better make sure you play hard in trying to prevent the other team from scoring.
Agreed. Also, his personality is a little abrasive so he brings some criticism on himself inadvertently. Of course his contract is “neutral” to “questionable” now and will likely become “bad” eventually.
Erik Karlsson’s issues are very clear. Injuries are plaguing him/his game, his defensive partner (Vlasic) is regressing horribly, and to be honest it seems his focus isn’t all on on-ice play/performance. I really hope Karlsson has a bounce back, Norris caliber, season and can prove that his contract isn’t as bad as people are saying it is. One last note; pray for Marleau’s first cup!
As a kings fan, I’m not worried about the doughty contract at all at least for a couple years. As the kings get better, doughtys play will improve big time
@@primozvilfan2361 So a team should pay him for what he can't do anymore instead of what he can do during the contract. Doesn't make sense for the team signing him.
@@primozvilfan2361 You're missing the point. You are not paying them for what they already did. You're paying them for what they will do for your team. Auston Matthews was one of the greatest goals scorers in the NHL, he's also consistently been the best or one of the best 5 on 5 players in the NHL every year of his career. Teams pay for the performance they expect out of the player. Just because a player could hit 100 points when they were 27 doesn't mean you pay them as a 100 point player at 35.
the carey price contract is fine tbh. goalies stay good for longer because its not as physically demanding on cardio, its more acrobatic and mental than for example a superstar forward who has to constantly pump
@@joelmac2942 The Leafs players produce. Though Marner is a bit overpaid it's not drastic. You're assuming that your hate has a negative contract value. That makes no sense. The players are worth or nearly worth their contracts. None of them is even close to the worst contracts in the NHL. It can be argued that some of the players should have been moved sure. I don't agree with that because no team was going to give you even close to a deal that's worth it but that's an argument. Saying one player is shit and should be signed for league min because you have a potential 50 goal scorer on the team so every other player regardless of performance shouldn't get paid is silly. The problem with the Leafs isn't talent, or skill, or who is paid what. It's a problem of not playing a system which Keefe tried to correct and now will have more of a chance to correct with his first offseason and first full season. The Leafs aren't the only team with this issue either. There are many. Players have to not just believe in the coach but buy into their system. Hockey is a team game and every player who's been successful will tell you that the system matters and the players have to buy-in. Skill is useless without coaching and a proper system.
None of the Leafs contracts are necessarily bad. The thing that stands out about the Leafs is the fact that they have multiple giant contracts which hurts the team as a whole. Each player on the team with a giant contract though would be offered just as much if not more by other teams around the league
Doughty doesn't belong on this list. Team has been weak overall, and he's taking the heat. He will bounce back even though a lot of people would like to see him fail.
Hello from Edmonton. I love Doughty, I don't think its a comment on his abilities - it is the cap hit and term - $11M per year - he is 30 now, and you have 8 more years of that.
Mitch Marner is overpaid, but he hardly belongs on this list. Constant 90+ point seasons and is still only 23. Hasn't even reached his prime yet. Most of the guys on this list are on the back end of there careers with drastic drops in production and are signed to long term deals
Carey definitely showed in qualifiers / first round that if they had the scoring depth to help, they could win a cup. he could have beat the flyers if they had scored more goals, he held them in it
All these players still have a shot at living up to the rest of their deal. Dustin Browns contract was always on one of these type of lists and he’s really stepped his game up the past few seasons
In terms of worst contracts, Lucic only costs Calgary $5.25 million. Erikson runs Vancouver 6 million. Plus, Erikson has regularly been scratched from the lineup. He's completely useless. Lucic actually had a good play-in round against Winnipeg. Lucic)Bennett/Dube finally clicked as a line and did some serious damage. Lucic has no business being on this list based on that playoff performance
What I learned from this video: don't take a single good year as a player's new average, and don't give out 8-year contracts, no matter how good the player is
The thing about Prices contract is he’s a goalie. If you look at goalies in the league most of the best goalies in the league tend to be older. Goalies age like fine wine and only get better with time. Unless of course he doesn’t do that but odds are it will pan out for the Canadiens.
The real head scratcher with Karlsson is that a lot of these other players had record breaking seasons before getting offered these big contracts. Karlsson had a mediocre season at best and was already showing signs of regression and then gets this monster contract. It didn’t make a lot of sense to me.
@@moemanncann895 If I recall his bankruptcy case, if he earned more than $4M per season on his next contract, he would have to pay 50% of it to his creditors, or in actual fact, his parents creditors. That's the reason why he signed for less than $4M otherwise it would have been higher.
In my opinion, Lucic has redeemed himself this season with calgary. Yeah I might be biased but still, he had good points for a 3rd/4th liner with a contact that might’ve been terminated if he hadnt put up those points
As a hawks it's really depressing. We could of signed Panarin and maybe, just maybe Teravainen instead of Seabrook and getting Saad back. Like can you imagine that! The hawks would still be a playoff team. Like Panarin would of ask prob 6mil+ and Teravainen less than 3 million because he was like 20 years old. hawks fan*
Charles Szasz you have no idea what you are talking about. Milan Lucic is going to lead his team to the SCF and win against the Red Wings next year and win the Hart, Art, Maurice Richard, and Conn Smythe
Suter still earns his contract and Parise has been performing as a slightly over priced second line player. They both have 4 more seasons left on their contract.
Carey Price is worth the money! he ousted the Pens and almost the Flyers (almost singlehandedly) in 2020 playoffs! the new look 2021Montreal Canadians looks much better and ready for a playoff run too! as for the term, he will make a great mentor for the upcoming Canadians goaltender of the future during the last 2 years of his contract. if he isn't now, he will be a legend!
I always felt that Seabrook’s contract was weighing down the Blackhawks who have very little cap space left. It’s a big question mark if he can still play well after 3 surgeries. Honestly I want him to come back and play well. He’s a great leader on and off the ice. But time will tell. A cautionary tale of what not to do as far as long term contracts with no movement clause.
I’ve never heard kings fans complaining about doughty, it’s usually everyone else who is not watching the kings play. Doughty should not be on this list
Agree with most all your picks EXCEPT Carey Price. Are you for real? He is poised to have a great season as he finally has a quality backup (Jake Allen) and won't have to play 27 of 28 games in a row. Watch him this year.
Erik Karlsson is my favorite player in the league and I laughed my ass off at that deal. They have Burns, paying Karlsson made no sense at all. They let Pavelski walk because of it. It was terrible from every angle
Even if he can't replicate his offensive production this season (he probably won't), he's probably only slightly overpaid in the grand scheme of things. He's a great shutdown C, and probably would have been around 4mil per season even without the insane spike in production. That said I am glad that Ottawa sold high on him.
The skinner contract is pretty rough but it is not as bad as it seems, he’s been consistently inconsistent (he’s been alternating up and down years) so as long as the Sabres actually get him some decent linemates he should have no problem bouncing back
Skinner played with Eichel, which was a big reason for his 40 goal output. This season they thought he could anchor his own line without Eichel, which certainly did not work out.
The only problem with karlson’s contract is his health. Hell, 40 pts in 56 gms is extremely good. Doughty gets paid almost the same and couldn’t match that productivity.
Doughty and Price aren't bad contracts. They're both elite players, they're just on bad teams. Skinner and Bobrovsky aren't bad contracts yet, they just had bad first years on their new deals. They still have plenty of time to make their contracts worthwhile. Karlsson and Vlasic have both those issues: they had bad years individually and they're on a bad team. If the Sharks improve around them, they might still prove their worth. (Subban and the Devils are a similar situation.) Abdelkader's contract is pretty bad, but the cap hit is only 4.25M. I'd argue that Loui Eriksson's contract hurts his team more.
What about the fact the NY Islanders are still paying Rick DiPietro over $1 million per year until 2029? Or the fact the Canucks are still paying Roberto Luongo?
I think it is not exactly fair to a player to say that their contract is the WORST after their performance this season. Yes, it definitely sucks when a player gets a massive bump but then can't perform right away, and then a team trades them away and the person goes back to form. The bigger problem to me are those players that are good just one time a year (for instance, Bickell) who then get a massive contract.
Exactly. Guy was playing almost 30 minutes a night and is being tasked with carrying the entire defense while not bringing in any help. He’s also a guy that got paid based on his accomplishments.
Florida Panthers defenseman Mike Matheson was a conspicuous absence on your list. Perhaps 8 years for $39 million doesn’t seem like much compared to some of those named, but he is so glaringly awful that his 6 years remaining at almost $5 mil AAV is an enormous liability both on the ice and against the cap. Perhaps the Kracken will do us a favor and take him off our hands. The Cats might have to throw in some picks to make it worth their while.
As a Canucks fan, I have a bad feeling about seeing Jacob Markstrom's name on this list in a year or two. I really hope they don't sign him to anything in the 6 to 8 year range.
Doughty should have more Norris trophies but u could get 2 great d for the price of him.best two way d man though.skinner contract is hilarious.lucic, okposo,Ladd, Eriksson can be grouped together.relax on July 1
Really like the channel NyQuist, but Im gonna have to disagree with you on Carey Price since he just took s 2-1 series lead over the Pens. Dude pulls in more than double his salary on merch, but thats another topic. Greatest goalie since Roy.
You should do a video about times "future considerations" actually turned out to be something. I know Calgary got Robyn Regehr as future considerations from Colorado in the Theo Fleury trade.
I don't get the Karlsson criticisms, he's on a bad team, definitely worse than the team he was on in Ottawa, yet he's just slightly under the PPG he had when in Ottawa. Give it another season or two, or once their roster starts to improve (which will be difficult given their contracts).
How bout Jake Voracek? Almost the same thing like Skinner (although he kept his level little bit higher), but his contract is also too high for 55-70 pts/season player. What do you think?
Abdelkader contract is the worst contract in NHL history. The minute it's up he will never play a NHL game again. Guy has no business being in the league
I'm not a shark fan but I've always heard that Vlassic was one of the best lockdown defensive defensemen. So 15 points isn't bad as his role isnt a point getter.
Okposo would be a fan favorite if he was getting paid 2.5 million, the only issue is he was signed as a top 6 forward and he had to reform his game after all his concussion issues
I don’t believe in bad contracts, imo there are a few contracts that have more money in them then deserving but theres a reason people got big pay outs and well old age happens to be a thing, i’m not hating yes it sucks some people don’t produce as good as they once did, but you can’t tell me that seabrook doesn’t deserve every penny he’s making, 3 cups is insane and he deserves to retire as a wealthy man.
Ya, I kind of agree with u, especially in seabrooks csuse, but nhl teams need to stop with the 7 year deals for 30 year old players, it’s bound to be a failure
Alex Jovanovich yeah I respect and 100% agree with you, like milan lucic’s contract is pretty bad and i’m not saying he deserves all of it but he wasn’t bad when he got that contract, and i hate Jeff skinner and i knew the contract was bad once it first happened like I hate when someone has a breakout season one time and expects millions but to be fair there was no big telling he was going to drop off, i mean I knew he was but no guarantee so maybe 9mil for skinns was not a bad idea at the time.
We're hoping Price is gonna pull off a Lundqvist and be good until his 30s. Other than that, yes 10M is high for a goalie. But hes the habs best player by far and we see why he earns that much in the playoffs. The problem is how old he is just like you sakd
10’s cleaver; they had no intention for him to play all of those years; buts pays him what he deserves for the few years he has left; but doesn’t kill there salary cap for those years. Nice pension cap contract :)
As a blackhawks fan, that seabrook contract is an absolute doozy. Don't get me wrong, I love the guy, and he did a lot for us, but his performance on the ice is declining. Also, add in the fact that it's a no-trade clause. We'll see what happens. Maybe he'll retire early. Honestly, it'd be nice to see him stay in the organization and be in a role similar to Brian Campbell since he has such an important presence both on and off the ice. He could really help all those new defensive prospects coming in.
Doughty apologists just chill, nobody’s saying he’s a bad player. He’s just not worth 11, 000,000 specially when the contract kicked in at almost 30 and compared to the cap hit of top D players in the league like Hedman ,Carlson and a few others. Doughty is definitely overrated and overpriced at 11 per, bad contract.
Sure Erik Karlsson didnt have the best year but he was still best in team, 40p in 56 games is not bad. Sure he only played 56 games and was sometimes extremly bad in own zone but looking at some other bad contracts he doesnt compare IMO
As a Rangers fan... Hank at $8.5 Staal at $5.75 Smith at $4.35... They don't look that bad compared to some of these. Next year is the final year on all three anyway....
That Skinner contract is imo the worst of them. That's an overpayment even if we thought he could repeat that year after year, and we all knew tthat would never happen again. He'd be lucky to score 30 next year. Shit contract, Buffalo will never find themselves in the playoffs.
How is Subban here? He's only got 2 years left on this contract. If it was 4,5 or 6 years left then absolutely but 2 yeara left especially with a team that has the most cap space in the league isn't a problem at all tbh
Matt Dumba. He is underpaid. I’d give him 40 million guaranteed for 20 years even if he retires. I’d call it reparations. Rest of team will be on minimum salary 2way contracts. We’d kneel, we’d cry, we’d wipe our rears w American flag. That’s all that matters now. If we go 0-82 it’s for a good cause; we’d virtue signal against privilege harder than any other sport!
I agree still think Subban can be salvaged apparently the Devils are are interested in Carey Price or Corey Crawford and Jersey has assets and picks to work with just saying could change PK back to mostly normal
With the current cap and team structures the only players that should be making 10+ million a season are consistent point per game players. I wanted doughty to stay in LA, but not for that much, maybe 9.5mil max, but that’s pushing it. If doughty really wanted to win again he would’ve taken a cut like mackinnon does to give management the opportunity to get the pieces to win around. That contract for a d-man is like saying “we expect you to reach 50 points and around a +20 +/- for the season.
Not sure how you can have Lucic on the list without Eriksson contracts are nearly identical and Lucic has been a better bargain then Eriksson as he’s been healthy and out produce Eriksson by nearly double as Vancouver has payed Eriksson 36mil so far for 38 goals both contracts are bad but by the numbers Eriksson is easily the worst it’s why the Neal and Lucic trade happened as neither GM would take the Eriksson contract as his was the worst and the worst player of the 3.
Price contract isn’t even that bad he’s just not on a good team anymore. A fresh start for him would be a good idea same with dewy he has no one to play with him. So how can he be a beast if he’s carrying L.A d-core by him self

Wow Adbelkader was my favorite player in like 2015 and I just totally forgot he existed until now.
Price was not supose to be in this vidéo. He was the heart of the montreal canadiens for years and still one of the best goalie in the nhl
Pageau Will join this list in the next few years. One month wonder
Even if he can't replicate his offensive production this season (he probably won't), he's probably only slightly overpaid in the grand scheme of things. He's a great shutdown C, and probably would have been around 4mil per season even without the insane spike in production.
That said I am glad that Ottawa sold high on him.
Price played his worth yesterday so I guess he could drop a few ranks on this listing just for that shutout alone :p
The skinner contract is pretty rough but it is not as bad as it seems, he’s been consistently inconsistent (he’s been alternating up and down years) so as long as the Sabres actually get him some decent linemates he should have no problem bouncing back
My god that background music ☠️
Skinner played with Eichel, which was a big reason for his 40 goal output. This season they thought he could anchor his own line without Eichel, which certainly did not work out.
The only problem with karlson’s contract is his health. Hell, 40 pts in 56 gms is extremely good. Doughty gets paid almost the same and couldn’t match that productivity.
Any GM who signs a player to big money after the age of 35 shouldn’t run a peewee team
As hawks fan searbrooke should be traded even tho he helped a lot over the 3 cup runs he just is not good anymore and they could a lot of cap space
Price worst contract ? wut ? 29 DG said they'll gave him more money for the same amount of time.
Drew Doughty does the job of 2 defensemen. Bargain.
Doughty and Price aren't bad contracts. They're both elite players, they're just on bad teams.
Skinner and Bobrovsky aren't bad contracts yet, they just had bad first years on their new deals. They still have plenty of time to make their contracts worthwhile.
Karlsson and Vlasic have both those issues: they had bad years individually and they're on a bad team. If the Sharks improve around them, they might still prove their worth. (Subban and the Devils are a similar situation.)
Abdelkader's contract is pretty bad, but the cap hit is only 4.25M. I'd argue that Loui Eriksson's contract hurts his team more.
What about the fact the NY Islanders are still paying Rick DiPietro over $1 million per year until 2029?
Or the fact the Canucks are still paying Roberto Luongo?
I think it is not exactly fair to a player to say that their contract is the WORST after their performance this season. Yes, it definitely sucks when a player gets a massive bump but then can't perform right away, and then a team trades them away and the person goes back to form. The bigger problem to me are those players that are good just one time a year (for instance, Bickell) who then get a massive contract.
this guy makes my worst 10 accents on youtube list lol
Listening to honorable mentions.
Me: THOSE ARE THE HONORABLE MENTIONS HOLY FUCK
Drew Doughty is a STUD his drop in play is because the Kings suck
Exactly. Guy was playing almost 30 minutes a night and is being tasked with carrying the entire defense while not bringing in any help. He’s also a guy that got paid based on his accomplishments.
Thank you for not putting Uncle Loui in a top 10 for once 😂
Florida Panthers defenseman Mike Matheson was a conspicuous absence on your list. Perhaps 8 years for $39 million doesn’t seem like much compared to some of those named, but he is so glaringly awful that his 6 years remaining at almost $5 mil AAV is an enormous liability both on the ice and against the cap. Perhaps the Kracken will do us a favor and take him off our hands. The Cats might have to throw in some picks to make it worth their while.
As a Canucks fan, I have a bad feeling about seeing Jacob Markstrom's name on this list in a year or two. I really hope they don't sign him to anything in the 6 to 8 year range.
Doughty should have more Norris trophies but u could get 2 great d for the price of him.best two way d man though.skinner contract is hilarious.lucic, okposo,Ladd, Eriksson can be grouped together.relax on July 1
Really like the channel NyQuist, but Im gonna have to disagree with you on Carey Price since he just took s 2-1 series lead over the Pens. Dude pulls in more than double his salary on merch, but thats another topic. Greatest goalie since Roy.
You should show +/- too
Nothing makes me appreciate Lundqvist like Carey Price's contract.
You should do a video about times "future considerations" actually turned out to be something. I know Calgary got Robyn Regehr as future considerations from Colorado in the Theo Fleury trade.
I don't get the Karlsson criticisms, he's on a bad team, definitely worse than the team he was on in Ottawa, yet he's just slightly under the PPG he had when in Ottawa. Give it another season or two, or once their roster starts to improve (which will be difficult given their contracts).
How bout Jake Voracek? Almost the same thing like Skinner (although he kept his level little bit higher), but his contract is also too high for 55-70 pts/season player. What do you think?
Abdelkader contract is the worst contract in NHL history. The minute it's up he will never play a NHL game again. Guy has no business being in the league
Where would Lucic rank after the big playoff run?
I'm not a shark fan but I've always heard that Vlassic was one of the best lockdown defensive defensemen. So 15 points isn't bad as his role isnt a point getter.
Keep up the good work man! I love your videos. The biggest problem with hockey channels is the obvious bias. I dont hear or see any of it in your vids
So confused about the EK65 bashing, 40 points on 56 games barreling injuries on the worst team in the west? What the fuck is so bad about that.
How are you going to put drew on this list but not going to put Jack Johnson?
Just make a base salary equal for all players and payout bonus's at the end of the regular season based on the players plus minus rating.
So if you are a great player on a lousy defensive team? Or your team has a lousy goalie? Plus minus is overrated.
bowman should have been fired for that seabrook contract
The term is the killer. They should have a max of 4 yr. For any player. One bad injury changes everything. Especially concussions.
Congrats on 40K!!!
So far, I am just through the honourable mentions. If those guys are not in the top 10, this is about to get very bad :D
Okposo would be a fan favorite if he was getting paid 2.5 million, the only issue is he was signed as a top 6 forward and he had to reform his game after all his concussion issues
I don’t believe in bad contracts, imo there are a few contracts that have more money in them then deserving but theres a reason people got big pay outs and well old age happens to be a thing, i’m not hating yes it sucks some people don’t produce as good as they once did, but you can’t tell me that seabrook doesn’t deserve every penny he’s making, 3 cups is insane and he deserves to retire as a wealthy man.
Ya, I kind of agree with u, especially in seabrooks csuse, but nhl teams need to stop with the 7 year deals for 30 year old players, it’s bound to be a failure
Alex Jovanovich yeah I respect and 100% agree with you, like milan lucic’s contract is pretty bad and i’m not saying he deserves all of it but he wasn’t bad when he got that contract, and i hate Jeff skinner and i knew the contract was bad once it first happened like I hate when someone has a breakout season one time and expects millions but to be fair there was no big telling he was going to drop off, i mean I knew he was but no guarantee so maybe 9mil for skinns was not a bad idea at the time.
Karlsson is basically the worst. Doughty and Burns at least have defensive upside.
We're hoping Price is gonna pull off a Lundqvist and be good until his 30s. Other than that, yes 10M is high for a goalie. But hes the habs best player by far and we see why he earns that much in the playoffs. The problem is how old he is just like you sakd
10’s cleaver; they had no intention for him to play all of those years; buts pays him what he deserves for the few years he has left; but doesn’t kill there salary cap for those years. Nice pension cap contract :)
As a blackhawks fan, that seabrook contract is an absolute doozy. Don't get me wrong, I love the guy, and he did a lot for us, but his performance on the ice is declining. Also, add in the fact that it's a no-trade clause. We'll see what happens. Maybe he'll retire early. Honestly, it'd be nice to see him stay in the organization and be in a role similar to Brian Campbell since he has such an important presence both on and off the ice. He could really help all those new defensive prospects coming in.
Doughty apologists just chill, nobody’s saying he’s a bad player. He’s just not worth 11, 000,000 specially when the contract kicked in at almost 30 and compared to the cap hit of top D players in the league like Hedman ,Carlson and a few others. Doughty is definitely overrated and overpriced at 11 per, bad contract.
Sure Erik Karlsson didnt have the best year but he was still best in team, 40p in 56 games is not bad. Sure he only played 56 games and was sometimes extremly bad in own zone but looking at some other bad contracts he doesnt compare IMO
As a Rangers fan...
Hank at $8.5
Staal at $5.75
Smith at $4.35...
They don't look that bad compared to some of these. Next year is the final year on all three anyway....
Basically Stan bowman choose to keep seabrook over panarin
How was he suppose to know some random kid in Russia was gonna sign with them one day and be very good
The problem with Karlsson is that he's terrible in his own end.
That Skinner contract is imo the worst of them. That's an overpayment even if we thought he could repeat that year after year, and we all knew tthat would never happen again. He'd be lucky to score 30 next year. Shit contract, Buffalo will never find themselves in the playoffs.
How is Subban here? He's only got 2 years left on this contract. If it was 4,5 or 6 years left then absolutely but 2 yeara left especially with a team that has the most cap space in the league isn't a problem at all tbh
Florida was HURT by Sergei this year, they woulda been much better if he had played to his standards.
The funny thing is that Doughty negotiated his own contract.
A couple of years from now perhaps you will do this at which time John Tavares contract will be high on the list.
If he keeps on producing the way he does now, then no he won't be
Matt Dumba. He is underpaid. I’d give him 40 million guaranteed for 20 years even if he retires. I’d call it reparations. Rest of team will be on minimum salary 2way contracts. We’d kneel, we’d cry, we’d wipe our rears w American flag. That’s all that matters now. If we go 0-82 it’s for a good cause; we’d virtue signal against privilege harder than any other sport!
I agree still think Subban can be salvaged apparently the Devils are are interested in Carey Price or Corey Crawford and Jersey has assets and picks to work with just saying could change PK back to mostly normal
With the current cap and team structures the only players that should be making 10+ million a season are consistent point per game players. I wanted doughty to stay in LA, but not for that much, maybe 9.5mil max, but that’s pushing it. If doughty really wanted to win again he would’ve taken a cut like mackinnon does to give management the opportunity to get the pieces to win around. That contract for a d-man is like saying “we expect you to reach 50 points and around a +20 +/- for the season.
Not sure how you can have Lucic on the list without Eriksson contracts are nearly identical and Lucic has been a better bargain then Eriksson as he’s been healthy and out produce Eriksson by nearly double as Vancouver has payed Eriksson 36mil so far for 38 goals both contracts are bad but by the numbers Eriksson is easily the worst it’s why the Neal and Lucic trade happened as neither GM would take the Eriksson contract as his was the worst and the worst player of the 3.
Price contract isn’t even that bad he’s just not on a good team anymore. A fresh start for him would be a good idea same with dewy he has no one to play with him. So how can he be a beast if he’s carrying L.A d-core by him self
