I am pretty sure that Alexandre Daigle would be near the top of the list for worst NHL contracts.

Maybe also worse draft choice ever. We should start a "worse draft choice ever" thread.

Jeff Skinner is the winner. It’s not even really that debatable in my opinion.

He is not even a decent NHL player this year and last. No real reason to expect it to change. And they have 6 at 9m left. With a team that may not want to spend to the cap.

Some of those other bad contracts are more players that are overpaid but are still productive NHL players.

It’s amusing that some of the Habs haters point out contracts like Weber and Price before this guy. Are they great contracts . Nope. But at least they are still productive players now.

Yes I forgot about him, what a rapid fall. I will be interested to see if Seguin bounces back, I believe he's injured now but he's on a downward spiral also.

Both of Tie Domi's contract with the Maple Leafs.

For what its worth, look what John Tavares did for the career of Matt Moulson.

Sabres’ Matt Moulson ignited career beside Islanders’ John Tavares - Buffalo Hockey Beat

Five years ago, Matt Moulson, then a struggling winger on a two-way contract with the New York Islanders, was paired up with slick center John Tavares.

If you look at John Tavares stats he's not exactly up there with the top guys but he does make the players around him better. More so on Long Island than Toronto

Personally, I don't think JT91's deal is bad (at least not yet).

The bulk of his deal will already been paid after this season. So even if his production stay the same the rest of the way, he's only getting paid $9 million next season and $8 million the final three.

Question: Does a player keep the money if he signed but never played for the team?

"However, Sadler never played in either the National Hockey League or the World Hockey Association despite signing with both leagues (the Montreal Canadiens and the Edmonton Oilers respectively)."

The Maple Leafs need their own forum for worst contracts because I doubt Clarkson's is the worst in their history

But, his cap hit is still $11mm (no rounding).

Yes I'm well aware of that but if the cap goes up it won't really matter. Remember San Jose and Boston offered him more.

you're not that old if you honestly believe he is.

Not even close.

Even amongst 1st Overall picks since the common draft, he's not the worst.
Three of 'em never laced up their skates for an NHL game.

Jeff Finger pops immediately to mind.

 

[Darts]

Some say the worse draft pick ever for the Canadiens was one they didn't make. Montreal boy married to a Montreal girl. The Canadiens passed on drafting him.

Yes, Mike Bossy. However, the knock against him was weak defensively and fragile.

Cliff Fletcher was thinking of Kurt Sauer.

What's really sad is that Sauer would've come cheaper

Statistically the worst ever, nothing else to go on, special mention to Rick dipietro.

I said Dipietro earlier. Because of that contract, no team can sign for more than 8 years.
