Every team has at least a few players who are "overpaid". Calgary is pretty typical in this regard when you include the buyouts:

Brouwer +1.5
Stone +1.2
Lucic +2
Bennett +1

Around $6 in "bad money" (make it $7M if you want to go crazy you can quibble over a few hundred k for Czarnik and Janko). You could find a similar amount on most teams.

I just don't understand why people twist themselves up in knots getting so angry about Bennett and Janko. They're slightly overpaid and moderately underperforming compared to what we thought they were last year. It's the same as blaming Toby Rieder for your team's failure. It's Embarassing.
