Subban and Eriksson have 50% of the season remaining on their contract, it's not top10/15 worst.

OEL is an overpayment but i wouldnt say its a huge one. hes still a top 4 Dman who can run a PP so his tag would still be around 5-6mil.

I guess the term is still the issue if he falls off but hes not THAT old. Unlike those SJ guys, brutal.

This year, bobs really trying to prove hes still an elite goaltender, and he has played well so I wouldn't put him here.
Also Price deserves this pay after he single handedly carried Montreal to the final last year

Subban has 1/2 year and about $1 million remaining in real $. Not a bad deal at all from this day forward.

OEL at $7.2 AAV is also not a terrible contract.

Okposo really doesn’t belong at this point. He has 1 year left after this year and has been a solid depth piece when healthy. Overpaid sure but no where near as bad as many of the others listed.

Keith has the highest GF% among Oilers defensemen and is playing the 2nd hardest minutes by comp. His is not among the worst contracts in the league by a long shot.

He's playing a lot better, sure. He might not be the worst contract in the league anymore, but he's still definitely within the top ten... at least.

He certainly isn't worth anywhere near his actual $11M price tag. At his current play level, I'd say he's still about $4-5M overpaid. He should be in here over OEL, IMO.
