The next 2 years of Parayko at 5.5m or the next 3 of ROR at 7.5m are probably the Blues' best contracts. Schenn is producing to his contract right now, but I doubt he will through the remainder of it.

What are these players doing:

Kuzy
Schenn
Hedman
Keith
Severson

perron has been super worth the 4m aav he gets too

Carlson is the only one I would have in over Kuznetsov. No others are worthy imo.

I switched Schenn with Perron

Hedman is the best defenceman in the NHL, I understand Point is on an amazing deal but Hedman has the best deal on Tampa for the long term run imo.

All of Chicago's contracts are bad lol, except maybe Kane but he will start to decline soon

Severson has the best contract on New Jersey, there should not really be any argument there

Does this logic make sense?

Let's say Point is worth 9.5-10million a year. Over 3 years Tampa saves 8.2 to 9.7million.

Headman probably could have signed for 11mil. Over the 8 years of his contract Tampa will save 25million. And he won't be in a position to recoup any discounts when it's done. Point is going to make bulk when he needs to resign later.

Could say Kubalik's is the best per your criteria. 2 years at 3.7 mil for a 30 goal scorer as a rookie - I think he only goes up from here. Could be a top 15 goal scorer in the league at 3.7 mil over the next 2 years!
