This is the worst possible NHL team. Multiple factors play into this including overpaid, poor defensive play, and age. Some of these guys might be 40-50 point scorers, but I chose them due to poor defensive play. This is also purely based off of last season. Let me know if there is a horrible player that you want on the team.
Andrew Peeke-
80 Games 13 Points -41 D-Man
-41 stands for itself. I understand, bad season, but come on -41.
Jonathan Toews- 53 Games 31 Points -31
Sorry Chicago. This guy is a Hall Of Famer, but he’s old and as a world renown Two Way Centre, he had a horrible -31. I understand the team was horrible, but there is no dancing around that -31.
Tony DeAngelo- 70 Games 42 Points -27
As a Flyers fan, I hate this guy. Horrible defenseman who couldn’t play defense. Don’t like it? Fight me. Could care less.
Torey Krug- 63 Games 32 Points -26
Same player as DeAngelo except older. Can’t play the position he is in, and he’s overpaid.
Corey Perry- 81 Games 25 Points -28
Hate this guy as well. He’s old and he’s a jerk. He was on a Tampa Bay team and got a -28 rating. Didn’t even know that was possible. Best thing that happened to him was when DeAngelo speared him in the groin. Also overpaid
Kevin Hayes- 81 Games 54 Points -22
Hate this guy. Former Flyer. He’s being paid 7 million dollars, and he stinks defensively. He is 6’5” and he isn’t even physical. Stunk in the last half of the season last year.
Jakob Silfverberg- 81 Games 26 Points -20
Overpaid, underperforming. Nothing more to add.
Josh Bailey- 61 Games 25 Points +3
Horrible season, overpaid.
Anthony Mantha: 67 GP 27 Points -8
Overpaid and did not perform the way the Caps thought he would. Turned into a third- fourth line wing.
Brendan Gallagher- 37 GP 14 Points -5
I really don’t like picking out players who were injured for a long time, but here is an exception. He’s overpaid, and he just doesn’t perform anymore.
Seth Jones- 72 GP 37 Points -38
Didn’t want to do this Chicago, but I gotta. Look at the stats and tell me he is worth 9.5 Million Dollars.
Ivan Provorov- 82 GP 27 Points -17
Thank God this guy is off our team. I swear he scored more goals on us than any NHL team. Overpaid.
Philipp Kurashev- 70 GP 25 Points -32
Not gonna lie, no clue who this is. Pretty awful player though.
Sean Kuraly- 71GP 20 Points -28
Decent scoring for a third line center, but horrible defensively.
Joel Edmundson- 61 GP 13 Points -29
Not really worth the 3.5 mill they are paying, he’s also -29.
Liam Foudy- 62 GP 14 Points -26
Not good production, and bad +/-
Victor Olofsson- 75GP 40 Points -23
Expected more out of, and didn’t perform defensively on a fringe playoff Buffalo.
Tyler Johnson-56 GP 32Points -21
Not good numbers for a 5 million dollar player.
Jonathan Quick- 41 GP 16 W .882 SP 3.41 GAA
I like Quick, but he’s older and has regressed. No longer the jaw dropping goalie he used to be. Sad though.
Phillip Grubaeur- 39 GP 17W .895 SP 2.85 GAA
Seattle thought they got their goalie of the future when Grubauer signed with them. They were wrong. Overpaid as well.
Ah yes because a top 5 player in the league should be on the worst possible team
That guy is just jealous, he desperately wants everyone to think Draisaitl is the best player in the world and gets angry that people know Matthews is better.

Yesterday he tried to say Campbell, Lavoie, a 2nd, and a 3rd was an overpay for Hellebuyck. That may have been the single worst take I’ve seen on this site
You should add Austin matthews to this team he can be the overpaid superstar of this team
Ah yes... I highly recommend you look at the all time goals per game leader list. I will make it easy for you - https://www.hockey-reference.com/leaders/goals_per_game_career.html or https://records.nhl.com/records/skater-records/scoring-averages/highest-goals-per-game-average-career-100-plus
You should also looks at Matthews defensive stats in the process.

Matthews has only played 8 seasons do you really believe he’s gonna maintain that .62GPG

Highly recommend u look at the playoff points per game and tell me the first 5 names you see

No I don't think he keeps up that pace over his career. But it is very telling to see the company that he holds 8 seasons in. He is one of the best scorers of all time. He is a generational goal scorer and he is a also very solid defensively. To claim he is overpaid is a little nutty.
Matthews is not the best player in the NHL. McDavid clearly is. I would also take Crosby in his prime over him. But he is one of the best players and one of the best 2 way centres in the league and he is a generational goal scorer. 100% teams would love to have him. Just like 100% of teams would love to have Mcdavid and 100% teams would love to have Draisaitl (who currently holds one of the best contracts league wide)

He has argued endlessly that McDavid benefits from Draisaitl. He truly believes he would contend for the art ross without McDavid on his team. It's nuts

He is the only contender to McDavid to win the art though wtf are u talking about lol and I claim they benefit from eachother and that draisaitls game benefits McDavid more than matthews game would

I would have said, here comes a bunch of cherry picked numbers where he credits Draisaitl for McDavid's skill but that ship has sailed.

No, whoever plays with McDavid is and will be the closest contender. There are probably 40 players who have similar numbers to Draisaitl if they switched teams with Draisaitl. McDavid accounts for 30-40 points of draisaitl's stats. To say otherwise is completely disrespectful to McDavid. Nuge's best season before McDavid was 56 points and now he has a 100+ point season on the books? Must be Draisaitl and not McDavid eh? What a joke

How many points would matthews have if he had Nuge and Yamamoto on his wing at 5 on 5
Replace those 4 with McDavid and Matthews scores 70 goals and 150 points.
Matthews isn’t even a better goal scorer than McDavid or draisaitl though right now there’s no way he would ever touch 70 wtf are u talking about again

Let me guess, you are pointing to that one small stretch where Draisaitl scored 12 points in 6 games without McDavid but played the majority of this ice time with McDavid over that entire season. Cherry picked stats. As expected.

He was out scoring McDavid all year even before he got injured though he was gonna win regardless of the injury to say otherwise would prove u have no clue about what ur talking about

You're the biggest Draisaitl fan on the planet. And you disrespect McDavid more than anyone. No one is a better player than McDaivd. No one comes close. Playing 40% of your 5v5 icetime and all your pp time will certainly boost your stats. A direct comparison between Matthews and Draisaitl shows that Matthews creates way more offence and light-years better defence. But, when you play with McDavid, you are going to get loads of easy offence because he's better than everyone.
It's a fact, no one has scored more goals than Matthews since he entered the league. But here we are pointing to last year and ignoring everything else because cherry picking numbers to boost Draisaitl's worth is all you do.

Sure bud, may as well trade McDavid, why pay that bum 12.5 million when Draisaitl is the one pulling all weight.
