1. Has to be Erik karlsson, 7 more years at 11.5 million, he looks washed right now.
2. Tyler Seguin, 7 more years at 9.8, ouch, 13 goals in 88 playoff games. What happened to him? 2 goals in 26 po games last year.
3. John Tavares, 11 mill till 25, is he a step behind already? I think the leafs want at least a 40 goal pace each year, no?
4. Max domi was a bad signing also but only 2 years, will he get another contract after, maybe a mill or two?

I'd say on that list it would be Erik Karlsson...San Jose is in last place and should be looking to rebuild and that contract will be hard to move.

That may be asking a bit too much. He's only averaged 32/season over the last 10 seasons. The only time in his career he got over 40 was 2 years ago with 47. Even 35/yr is above his average.

You mean the only year in his career he ever scored 40 was when he played with Marner?
 
Drew Doughty - 7yrs, $11M/season left
Shea Weber - 6yrs, $7.9M/season left
Sergei Bobrovsky - 6yrs, $10M/season left

On that list I'd go Doughty, Kings are another team that should be rebuilding and won't be able to dump that contract easily.
 
I think some of these contracts were made on the assumption that revenue and the salary cap would keep rising forever.

It may take a while before we see another $11mm annually contract again.

None of those tops Rick Dipietro 15 year contract.
 
I was just going to bring up Carey Price. Can you even say right now he's a 10.5 million goalie? 9 games 5 wins 4 losses .901 SV% when his career is .917 SV%
 
P.K. Subban (darn someone just mentioned him)

It's just one year but $8mm for 1 goal and a minus 10. Guess who?
 
He beat me to it but as soon as I saw the title of this thread I knew Georgie boy would be gone for at least an hour in a cap vortex google search

Vegas: Pietrangelo is the stinker so far. He hasn't been playing like a Norris trophy candidate for the $$$$$ he's making.

You've made this determination 11 games in to a 7 year contract?
Fair enough, that's a significant sample size.

About 10 minutes.

John Tavares GP: 163 Goals: 79 Assists: 85 Points: 164

Mitch Marner GP: 318 Goals: 91 Assists: 227 Points: 318

I wouldn't say Tavares is the Leafs worst contract when he's a point-per-game player just like Marner and they both make almost the same $$$$$.
