I'm wondering if there's a reason there's a smaller list of MOST OVERPAID PLAYERS in FNHL. But here's my attempt at bringing it back for the 2019-20 season. Being the owner of the most OVERPAID player, I think that honour belongs to me. I've cut and paste this from the 2015-16 post started by Pigsrule and will use it as a evolving post. After the Sharks players, the list is in no particular order.2011-12 List of overpaid FNHL players2012-13 List2013-14 List2014-15 List2015-16 ListWho belongs on the 2019-20 List? RW - Josh Anderson, $10.3m (2019-2024) - product of a FA bidding war LW - Milan Lucic, $5.7m (2019-2023) - there are way cheaper options for the same output on the wing LW/RW - Thomas Vanek, $1.6m (2019-2022) - a slow footed FA who refuses to retire at age 36 D - Damon Severson, $6.0m (2018-2022) - plays like a bottom pairing D G - Alex Lyon, $3.6m (2018-2021) - does this guy even have a real shot at the NHL? D - Ryan McDonagh, $5.3m (2017-2020) - plays like a 7th or 8th D G - Ryan Miller, $7.1m (2017-2021) - retirement material? D - Derek Forbort, $3.5m (2018-2021) - not producing even when he's not on on the IR LW - Patrick Marleau, $4.7m (2018-2021) - 40yo has seen better days G - Timur Bilyalov, $5.1m (2019-2022) - until he reaches the NHL, this KHLer is an expensive prospect G - Henrik Lundqvist, $13.5m (2017-2022) - on a bad team and past his prime too C/LW - Joe Pavelski, $8.3m (2018-2023) - has not been elite this year with the Stars D - Nick Holden, $5.2m (2018-2021) - maybe a little more expensive that he should be D - Oliwer Kaski, $3.7m (2019-2022) - the result of FA bidding war? G - Michael Hutchinson, $5.1m (2017-2020) - blew his chance to remain an NHLer with Leafs C - Martin Hanzal, $2.2m (2018-2021) - played total of 45 games in 3 yrs!!!! G - Cory Schneider, $5.8m (2019-2023) - lots of term left on this contract for an AHL goalie RW - Corey Perry, $6.6m (2017-2021) - well past expiry date for that contract D - Johnny Boychuk, $8.0m (2016-2021) - just an ordinary blueliner nowadays LW - Zack Smith, $5.5m (2017-2021) - reminds me of Lucic's contract and scoring output G - Calvin Pickard, $4.6m (2018-2021) - stuck in the AHL on a bad team like DET!?!?! G - Keith Kinkaid, $5.1m (2017-2021) - stuck in the AHL on a bad team like MTL!?!?! C - Ryan Spooner, $3.2m (2018-2021) - someone file a missing persons report on Spooner! RW - Cam Atkinson, $7.5m (2018-2023-FP-9.9 ) - he's good but this was a FA bidding war contract LW - Matt Martin, $5.1m (2018-2021) - just like Lucic and Zack Smith LW - Patrick Maroon, $6.0m (2018-2022) - just like Lucic, Zack Smith and Martin RW - Marko Dano, $4.4m (2018-2021) - got paid and left town RW - Phil Kessel, $4.5m (2019-2022) - how the mighty have fallen! G - Cam Talbot, $8.9m (2019-2024) - too expensive for a backup RW - Tyler Pitlick, $2.7m (2019-2022) - overpaid for a depth guy
6. D - Ryan McDonagh, $5.3m (2017-2020) - plays like a 7th or 8th D I see from the Completed Transactions that McDonagh was a Cane and dealt for a 2nd rounder to the Flames. I give props to the last owner for that trade. McDonagh lost his PP1 unit PT to Shattenkirk and the results speak for themselves. He is no better than a shutdown defenceman as long as Tampa doesn't give him PP mins.
