15. Toronto Maple Leafs
Last season: 8th
On average, Toronto generally gets a good deal and the Maple Leafs also rarely make bad deals. David Kampf is the current exception to that, but aside from him the team doesn’t have many true problem contracts. Some players are paid more than you’d prefer, yes, but the Leafs have limited disaster.
But there’s a big difference between the Leafs and the NHL’s contending class and that’s the lack of many great deals. The Panthers, Lightning and Hurricanes all sit in the league’s top five for contract efficiency while the Leafs sit closer to the middle. For a team with championship aspirations, that disparity is not ideal.
