In an offshoot from the V=NG thread discussing Myers terrible contract and how he's viewed as one of the worst values in the league, I immediately thought of this contract that was signed just over a year ago:

Jeff Skinner: Signed an 8 year $9 million AAV deal with Buffalo. In his first year he had 14 goals and 23 points in 59 games, to go along with a -22 (his fourth season with a +/- well into the minus 20s). He is slated to start the year on Buffalo's 4th line as per camp reports. 7 more years to go with an AAV that cripples your chances of forming a decent roster.

Just as a reminder, he has a higher AAV than Draisaitl, Crosby, Stamkos, Aho, and Taylor Hall (who signed a year later to the same team on a short term deal which should then have a much higher AAV).

It's amazing that Botterill found another job after being let go from the Sabres.


Now for all of you. Propose your worst contract in the league with arguments and rationale.
