Quoting: ConnorMcHellebucyk
His contract gets disrespect, not him.
I have done this so many times, but his contract is not that bad. It really isn't. As Bruins fans we are jaded by the deals 37, 63 and 88 are on.
Last four seasons:
Johanson 8m - .75 ppg - 291 gp (Forsberg)
Krejci 7.25m - .74 ppg - 269 gp (Debrusk)
Turris 6m - .64 ppg - 241 gp (Arvidsson)
Stastny 7m - .68 ppg 234 gp (Taresenko)
Zbinejad 5.3m .71 ppg 259 gp (Kreider)
Toews 10m - .78 ppg - 277 gp (Kane, debrincat)
Pavelski 8m - .86ppg 297 gp (coture, kane, marleau)
Yes, there are guys who are on better deals, but I don't really hear anyone saying anything about the other contracts listed as a huge overpayment (maybe Toews)
Plus I left out guys like Stepan 6.5m, Brassard 6m, Spezza 7.25m
Point is if Krejci at 7.25m is your bad contract, you are in great shape. Then you take into account his playoff performances.
