Inside the NHL’s Most Shockingly Mismanaged Contracts That Defy Salary Cap Logic
Six years back, I dove headfirst into what, on paper, sounded like a ludicrous idea — assembling a salary cap-compliant hockey roster loaded entirely with the league’s worst contracts. I won’t lie, the concept felt almost nonsensical from the get-go. After all, how do you reconcile “bad contracts” with “salary cap constraints”? Turns out, it’s quite the puzzle, especially when the universe conspires to price you out of the absolute worst deals. Yet, driven by curiosity (and maybe a dash of stubbornness), I took on the challenge—and readers surprisingly loved the result.
