Until next season happens though this is what his analytics is predicting.

His premise is that the contract - which just kicked in, which he hasn't played a year under yet - is bad. Fine, you can predict it will be bad, but when you come out and say this is an awful deal before the player has taken the ice under it, using one bad year to justify it and then squash the premise anyway by suggesting the player has the tools to bounce back?
It was crap.
Even the header "NHL's 10 worst contracts, 2023 edition: Jones, Parayko & Huberdeau lead the way" misleads
