Inside the NHL’s Biggest Contract Blunders of 2025: Shocking Surprises from Huberdeau to Provorov
In the NHL, contracts matter. For better or worse, every player is judged based on the money he makes and whether he’s worth the price.
This piece is about the players who aren’t worth the money — the worst deals in the league. It’s when you ask yourself, “How is this guy making that much?” but in a bad way.
There are a number of player-friendly deals out there. According to each player’s projected value over the remainder of their deals, these are the league’s 10 worst contracts.
The goal here is to grade contracts empirically with the same context being applied to each player across the league: how much value does each player bring to the table per year and over the life of the contract? The way that’s measured comes from comparing a player’s Net Rating and the expected salary that comes with it to a player’s current contract.
