Inside the NHL’s Most Shockingly Mismanaged Contracts That Defy Salary Cap Logic
That group works well enough for our purposes, so let’s move up and try the same approach on the third line. We’ll start with a player the Maple Leafs traded for this summer in Dakota Joshua, who still has three years left on a deal that carries a $3.25 million hit. He’ll have a pair of $3 million wingers in the Blue Jackets’ Mathieu Olivier, who’s just starting a new six-year deal, and the Islanders’ Pierre Engvall, who somehow still has five years left on that seven-year extension that I could have sworn he signed a decade ago. That’s north of $9 million for three forwards coming off a year that saw them combine for 61 points, over half of those by Olivier.
