What do you think is the worst contract in the NHL right now?

I use this site for my numbers www.nhlnumbers.com

Some of the ones I think are bad...(I only listed 06-07 salaries)

Ed Jovanovski ($7,000,000)
Pavel Kubina ($5,000,000)
Jose Theodore ($5,5000,000)
Kim Johnsson ($4,050,000)
Adrian Aucoin ($4,000,000)
Nicolai Khabibulin ($6,750,000)
Jay McKee ($4,000,000)
Alexei Yashin ($7,600,000)

Rick DiPietro's insanely long contract. It actually bumped Yashin's off my personal top spot, but at least the Isles are consistant.

This isnt a troll post, or something to upset the masses ...however:

If the Penguins win the Stanley Cup, I will stop watching hockey for a full year.

This is a 100% true story.

I don't really think it's as bad as some people would lead you to believe. If he develops as well as everyone expects then he will be underpaid in the latter part of his career. If he gets injured...well, that's what insurance is for. Plus, the cap room would be available if he's on IR.

is this really too much for a solid D-man? I'm just saying this based on what I saw from him in the playoffs last year.

I'll add Brad Richards ($7 000 000)

This was my frist thought.


Gonchar'ss was the worst for the 1st half of last year, but it's looking like a solid sign now.

I think he cashed in bigtime with his play last season. IMO $4,000,000 is an overpayment for McKee especially when you facter in he's also signed for 3 more seasons at $4,000,000 per.

Being from Ottawa I'd have to say Gerbers 3.5 million is pretty bad. Didn't seem like a bad idea at the time but I bet Ottawa wish's they had that money back to maybe keep Havlat or sign some one else.

The only thing worse than Columbus paying Sergei Fedorov $6 million and Adam Foote $4.6 million this season is the fact that they have to do it again next season.

Fedorov - 15G, 20A, -7
Foote - 3G, 8A, -17

Just sad...

His cap hit is $2.5 million, which will be a bargain if he hits the stride he's projected for. Definitely pricey for a guy who's scored 23 points all year though.

I think Mckee is a bit overpaid, but it doesn't fall into the same category as the other contracts, IMO. St. Louis was in a position where they had to overpay a little bit to attract good free agents.

For what Aucoin has done so far, his contract is awful. It didn't look that bad at the time he signed it, but he really hasn't done much.

I haven't seen anyone mention Samsonov yet. I know he only has one year left, but he stinks.

I think Bulis is overpaid at 1.1 million...

Oh yeah. Getting him was one thing, extending him before the season started was just brain dead.

No one forced them to match the offer, just think, right now he could be yet another Flyers player who isn't living up to his potential.

Kesler got off to an awful offensive start, but he was really starting to turn it around before his injury. There was no way, IMO, the Canucks could not match the offer sheet. He is getting paid a bit to much, but I wouldn't lump him in there with the other guys mentioned. He also clearly has the potential to get better (while being paid around 1.9 mill for the next little while), something that can't be said for guys like Theodore or Aucoin.
