I did this team based on GSVA per $1M cap hit (Min. $1M cap hit). The lines are done to show players in their typical roles, not the most valuable contracts.
Most of these players are relatively close in terms of value per $, but Carter Verhaeghe his by far the best contract in the league this year.. and its not even close..
After Verhaeghe, there is a group of Hyman, Eriksson Ek and Pelech who have great value per dollar before it drops to the rest of the group
Surprised to see Rielly here as he get's ripped on by people here non stop... including Leaf "fans".
Rielly is border line on this team. He was just slightly ahead of Mackenzie Weager for the last spot.
He is actually having a very good year, but this may also be partly caused by TJ Brodies incredible defensive play to backup Reilly's offensive abilities.
hey oilers fans, notice how draisaitl isnt on here?
Draisaitl has an above average contract value based on my system. He scores in the 80th percentile around the likes of Crosby, David Perron and Brayden Point.
But no.. he is not one of the best contracts by any means..
Not having drilled down into the scores, I'm going to guess is the defense that is dragging him down.
Yes, infact that whole line in Winnipeg drops because of this. His offensive score is 1.7 and his defensive score is -8.8. That defensive score is near the bottom of the league.
For reference the average score for both offense and defense is about 0.3 for both..
To look at other players as examples Verhaeghe has scores of 9.9 and 7.9 and Mackinnon has scores of 10.2 and 10...
Looking at that his defense is wayyy behind, but also his offense seems to be lacking as well..
I know that haha it was more of a joke directed at the people saying the Rangers overpaid him back in 2019
He is definately not over paid.. but I see your point..
Similar to my oppinion on Marner with the Leafs, they both seem to be paid "fairly" for what they bring.
I hate when people use the types of contracts we see on this team as reason to **** on fair contracts.. Like "How is Panarin worth $11.6M when Mackinnon is only getting paid $6??" i mean, mackinnon is one of the best contracts in the league, that is why..
