I'd argue Markstrom could be here outside of his one year where he was a vezina finalist

Yeah lots of goalies could be here. I only wanted to include 3 though. Markstrom, Peterson, Binnington, Grubauer, Korpisalo, and Husso all could be here

OP is a Canucks fan and pro canuck. Plenty of Nucks players should be there (Myers and Garland)

Myers is a pending UFA and Garland is a far better deal than any wingers on this list

Who would be plenty of canucks? Myers is a pending ufa like ops description says every forward is a worse value than Garland there's no way you think these players are better than Garland

If I included pending UFAs Myers would have a good case to be included, but I didn’t include any

Garland’s contract is much better than any of the forwards on this list

Miller belongs nowhere near this list he's on a 100 point pace again this year and is top 15 in scoring since coming to Vancouver as anything he's still underpaid

Copp, Palat and Killorn don’t have bad contract. Wilson contract is amazing (unless you are talking about his extension but it isn’t his actual contract). Myers is pretty much Armia with 1 year instead of 2. He should be paid less than 2m.

Also, Copp is a C, so if you include positions, there is a hole at 4w

Myers can’t be on here because as of right now he’s only owed like 680K even though his cap hit is 6.

And Granlund added a lot to the sharks last night (1st game back from opening season injury) so I have hope he can be a piece to at least help us win a few games!
Vlasic has to be #1 on here as he is playing like a guy who want to be done but has too much money left to actually retire.

Miller’s deal is bad in a sense where he is an insane player but his attitude problems drag the team down

For Wilson I am using his extension not his current contract

Garland is better than Palat and Copp and makes less money. Killorn at 34 getting 4x6.25 is a bad contract

It is easily one of the worst in the league. A mediocre 3rd liner making 2nd line money with term

Palat has been a better player all of his career. Better office and about the same defensively. A leader, playoffs performer. Clearly better.

Copp is about the same offensively and defensively but he plays a more important position. But he doesn’t belong here cuz there is way more worse C options

Killorn is indisputably the better player. His deal might be bad in 2 years but for now, it isn’t

Palat was great in Tampa yes. Since signing in NJ he’s been poor

Copp only scored 9 goals last year and was also bad defensively. He also makes 700K more than Garland. I also wasn’t really going for position specific, more just the worst forward contracts and worse defense contracts

Killorn is probably better (although we haven’t seen him play outside of Tampa yet), but that term and money at his age is a bad contract. Even if you took him out there’s other forwards that would be there before Garland

Killorn hasn't played a single game yet, it's a bit too early to cry Fowl(er) on it. It may not age the best but it should be good for 2-3 years.

Garland has the same amount of points as palat this year making 1.1 less with less term, Garland has been historically in the same range as Killorn for points, even if you move Copp to center you can move Amria to LW and Mikeal Grundlund to RW, op said its Willson next deal, it almost seems like you didn't read the description before commenting

So one bad season means he is bad? Btw, he was on pace for only 8 pts less.

Copp had less points last season but more pts (and more goals) the season before. And if you don’t take into account position, no way Tavares isn’t there

Killorn is getting better as time goes by. Maybe his contract will look bad ne day, but not for now.

I don’t really know who would be before Garland. Maybe Helly and Scheiffle’s extension?
