Inside the NHL’s Most Shockingly Mismanaged Contracts That Defy Salary Cap Logic
Six years ago, I wrote a post based on a premise that I thought was stupid, bordering on pointlessly absurd. If you know my work, that’s really saying something.
A few days earlier, I’d tried to build a roster using the best players and contracts that I could fit under the salary cap, which is not an especially dumb idea and was actually kind of fun. But then, somebody asked me to flip the script and build a cap-compliant roster of the league’s worst contracts. At first, that seems fine. But then you get into it and realize that “bad contracts” and “cap compliant” don’t work together at all, as you find yourself being priced out of some of the very worst deals because you don’t have room for them. The whole thing didn’t make one bit of sense.
