Contracts that didnt pan out in the long run and are really hard to swallow right now, personal opinions, probably some worse ones I missed! *Edit* Dropped Hertl based on the fact I should probably give him a chance to prove the contract, only one I dont feel fully confident on my initial list.
Okposo's contract is a little high but nothing too concerning at this point. They very likely extend him for a couple more seasons too. If you're looking at a regrettable contract from Buffalo it's Skinner, not Okie.
How can you include Hertl? He literally just signed his contract this season….
You know looking at it I would change him out for skinner, I have never really thought of Hertl as more than a 3rd line option on most good teams and him over 6.5-7 million feels like a rough overpay considering the sharks recent losing ways. I always like when players can live up to the contract though, probably some bias and just not following SJ as close as other pacific teams. Appreciate the reply!
7mil is rich but I’m fine with Lee being a bit overpaid. He’s a good scorer, the captain, and is the heart and soul of the team
Fair enough, I have heard he is a big locker room guy so he has probably earned the money outside of on ice production. I didn't take that into account but 100% think if I made a team of "Leaders in the Room" he would be on there.
