[News] The Athletic releases list of worst contracts (we’re #1!)

[habernac]

Yeah, he’s a 200 foot player now, doesn’t resemble the one who was traded here. I have no clue what Vancouver is trying to do. They should have done everything possible to get rid of Petterson before the no trade kicked in.

Sure. But his value falls every year because he's already peaked and aging into his 30s. He was a first liner last year, is a second liner this year, and will be a third liner a couple seasons from now. His game won't translate super well to a third line role either.

And he's great in the locker room.

I think he's perfect

Nurse is a worse contract than Huberdeau for sure but i also think that Frederic deal for eight (8!!!) years is a train wreck. 15 points last year, yeah he deserves 30 million. That Bouchard contract is a yikes too.

There are many worse contracts than Huberdeau now. Dino7c says it best he’s overpaid by $3mm but it doesn’t make it the worst. Nurse is a literal liability out there.

The list sucks and nobody is “overreacting” haha- more like just posting opinions.

Severally overpaid D that you think have unmovable contracts seems to get traded more often then you would expect vs wingers who are a dime a dozen

I feel like with a few million retained the oilers could get out of the Nurse deal taking a contract back . Teams are willing to take chances on bigger physical D. I don’t think the Flames would have a hope of getting out of the Huberdeau .

The problem is as he gets worse the team is getting (or should be) better and leaving a rebuild

He’s hurting the tank now by playing decent , and will hurt the future competing team by getting worse as he ages

Perfect is the last word I would use haha
