Seems fair overall. More than half are solid players, but overpaid, others just caught their respective GMs the day before they quit sniffing glue.

Cernak and Pulock shouldn't be here at all. Jones is obviously overpaid but he definitely shouldn't be 2. Over Vlasic is wild

The amount of former Jets on this list makes me think Chevy might just know what he's doing. Schmidt is on there (quite rightly lol) but Chevy didn't sign him and he's been playing alright this year even if he's getting bought out this summer.

7. Patrik Laine (RW-CBJ)
13. Nate Schmidt (RD-WPG)
22. Andrew Copp (C-DET)
32. Tyler Myers (RD-VAN)
38. Pierre-Luc Dubois (C-LAK)

No one should ever buy a player from Kevin Chevaldayoff, you're walking into a bullet every time.

If Wheeler still had his old deal, he would be top-5 on this list.

Chiarot, Trouba, Hayes, Roslovic aren't too far off either...all fairly negative

Where's Tavares on this?

People keep telling me how bad of a contract he is... But he's not here and Goodrow is, so it shouldn't be THAT bad

That Tavares contract actually isn't as bad as I thought it would be...

Especially considering all the "Worst contracts team" I always see including him

If you had said in year 1 that Tavares would be near full value at year 6 of deal....people would be happy with it

Heh. His model is NOT data. It's a subjective formula. Two very different things. And I'm fairly sure he thumbs the scale, too.
