Inside the NHL’s Most Shockingly Mismanaged Contracts That Defy Salary Cap Logic
This is going to be ridiculous and way harder than it should be. In other words, perfect summer content. Let’s do this.
Goaltenders
Right off the bat, the conflict driving this whole exercise comes into focus: We want to overspend, but not too much, because we have to save room for all the bad skater contracts to come.
That isn’t a huge issue here, because I’m not sure that any of the biggest goalie contracts are obviously bad. We already said we can’t use Carey Price, while Sergei Bobrovsky only has one year left of his $10 million hit. And while I doubt Igor Shesterkin’s deal will age well, especially without any clear next man up to drive the goalie market forward, I’m not going to spend $11.5 million of my space just so he can win the Vezina next year and make everyone laugh at me.
