IMO Iginla, Gio weren't the bad contracts. The bad contracts are guys who are No 5-8 defenseman ... Babchuk $2.5M and Sarich at $2M both sitting tonight? $4.5M in defenseman just as regular healthy scratches is a big time waste.
The other killer is Cammalleri at $7M ($6M cap hit)... if he were performing on par with his skill, I can understand him being a little overpaid. Right now he's performing at half his salary worth, or worse.
