By the numbers: The NHL’s 10 worst contracts, 2020 edition
New York TimesThere’s a point in each offseason where most hockey fans will peruse CapFriendly and say “it’s just not fair.” That statement can go both ways, as it could mean an amazing contract on a rival team or a terrible one on their favourite team. Ryan Johansen, NSH Contract: $8M x five years Surplus Value: -$26.5M Positive Value Probability: 2.9 percent At this point last year, Ryan Johansen’s contract wasn’t looking ideal, but he still played like a capable top six centre. Nikita Zaitsev, OTT Contract: $4.5M x four years Surplus Value: -$23.2M Positive Value Probability: 2.6 percent Kyle Dubas doesn’t get enough credit for dodging this landmine of a deal. Jacob Trouba, NYR Contract: $8M x six years Surplus Value: -$29.0M Positive Value Probability: 6.3 percent Like the Skinner deal, this is another one signed just over a year ago that already isn’t aging well. Josh Morrissey, WPG Contract: $6.25M x eight years Surplus Value: -$34.9M Positive Value Probability: 9.7 percent If Trouba stayed in Winnipeg, it’s possible that neither he nor Josh Morrissey would be on this list.
