Inside the NHL’s Most Shockingly Mismanaged Contracts That Defy Salary Cap Logic

With that, we’ve filled out three forward lines with dicey down-the-lineup contracts, none of which top the $4 million mark. That means we’ve got money to spend on our first line. What could go wrong?
Let’s start with two of the prize catches from the UFA class of 2024: Boston’s Elias Lindholm and Seattle’s Chandler Stephenson. Lindholm’s debut season with the Bruins saw him top out at 47 points, which doesn’t quite live up to his $7.75 million price tag, but that’s fine because he still has six more seasons to figure it out and forwards often get better after turning 30. Stephenson is even older but a bit cheaper, coming in at a bargain-value price of $6.25 million for the next six years.
