Quoting: BCAPP
Okposo, Ladd, Erikson, Backes (centre but older).
Hint all they're contracts suck
Okposo: 0.88 P/GP prior three seasons
Ladd: 0.68 P/GP prior three seasons, 23, 24, 25 goals
Eriksson: 0.66 P/GP prior three seasons, coming off a 30-goal campaign
Backes: 0.69 P/GP prior three seasons, 27, 26, 21 goals, right-shot center (huge difference in value right there)
Oshie: 0.74 P/GP prior three seasons, coming off a 33-goal campaign and 2 playoff runs at 0.88 P/GP
Kreider: 0.67 P/GP prior three seasons, could hit 30 goals this season, no playoffs for 3 years
Contracts:
Okposo: 8.22%
Ladd: 7.53%
Eriksson: 8.22%
Backes: 8.22%
Oshie: 7.67%
8.22% of $83M is $6.8M - exactly the contract in the mock above. And I agree - whoever signs that deal will live to regret it - and sooner rather than later.
