Description
The goal here is to determine the best of the worst contracts. I’ll list what I think is each teams worst contract (I’m open to hearing arguments for replacements), and then it goes tournament style. Again, you’re picking the better of the two contracts between left wing and right wing. The best moves on for the next round. No, Drew Doughty isn’t on there. I think he bounces back once LA is competitive again.

I’m well aware of how stupid this is.

Marner, Benn, Stastny, and Gardiner's contracts arent even that bad

Yes Benn is overpaid a bit, but I think its worth it with all the off ice things he provides

im only going to comment one thing Price's contract isn't bad it's just very long and expensive but it would be probably between him and Weber as our bad contracts because we don't really have any at least right now but they could be bad later
