Which team would you rather

With their current contracts? Prob equal. Otherwise, right side

You did not just say that, I mean come on, that's insanely dumb.

Skill wise its basically DeBrincat and Talbot versus Tarasenko, Norris, Chychrun, Korpisalo, and Kubalik because the others are useless, which is obviously not even close.

Contract wise, none of these players are overpaid by more than a million so even if they're technically overpaid you take this roster any day of the week over the other one.

Not to mention both Chychrun and Kubalik are underpaid (Chychrun by 2/2.5 million, Kubalik by 500k-1 million) so it makes up for the others who might be a bit overpaid.

You didn't read the 2nd part of what I said but I'll give you a little bit of wiggle room bc of your rage

Norris hasn't played over 70 games, has only had 1 60 games campaign and played 8 this past year, there's def. recency bias here in calling his contract an overpayment considering what you could get with that 8 mill... ADB, Stuzle, Thompson, Tkachuk, Suzuki all have similar contracts and are all so much better than Norris'...

Tarasenko also finds himself under the injury bug curse but is also 31... But he doesn't have that grit to him either than say a Max Domi, who's getting paid 3 mill or Tyler Bertuzzi, who's getting paid only .5 mill more. Though I do like that it's only a 1 year deal.

Korpisalo screams Jack Campbell 2.0. You've got a career backup who finally gets his stroke of luck by playing in front of a good defence when he gets the starting job but starts to falter near the end of his short crusade... But in FA, he signs with a team with lacklustre defence and who have a habit of overpaying goalies... Sound familiar?

Kubalik is average... reminds me of a less defensive Alex Kerfoot... If anything league average players shouldn't be getting paid 2.5 mill

While the Chychrun is a good one... it 1 doesn't out weigh the other bad contracts and 2 isn't 2-2.5 mill better... He also hasn't played 70 games in his career, isn't a number 1 defensemen and hasn't produced in the playoffs. He isn't near Morgan Rielly who's making 7.5 and is being called overpaid.

Oi vey... how exactly is Tarasenko under an injury bug curse? Apart from a surgery snafu over one injury that is old news, he's been rather durable over his career. And he has no grit??? What??? It sounds like you've never actually seen him play.

2019-20, 2020-21, 2022-23 have all had Tarasenko miss at least 12 games because of something in the past 4 seasons

That's a little concerning
