#1redwingfan 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2009 I have a question for all letsgowings members: Who is the best bang for your buck player in the NHL? In a salary cap world, who is the best bargain player? Take into account their salary vs their stats and also the things you cannot calculate i.e. leaders, great team players, guys who are always willing to go into the corner and dig for the puck, etc. The obvious choice would be guys like Versteeg, Ryan, Wheeler or which ever rookie with their entry-level contracts, but also think about the guys who are paid the bigger bucks. Looking forward to your input. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's probably a question for the Between Periods forum. In a salary cap world, who is the best bargain player?

Looking forward to your input. But yeah, entry level contracts are obviously the best, but also risky, which kinda goes into the reason behind the RFA/entry level system as it would make teams excessively overpay young players.

We shouldn't have an educated discussion about a players value in General Discussion? Meanwhile people are talking about how sick they are getting of Ovie's goal celebrations...

Gnredwing 10 Report post Posted February 24, 2009 I say Ovechkin, he doesnt make what he is worth. He is the ultimate player and the Caps have him locked up long term, good for them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest EZBAKETHAGANGSTA Report post Posted February 24, 2009 Sammuelson has to be in the top 10 for non entry-level contracts. I'd take Gary Roberts anyday for what he's making Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daniel1 32 Report post Posted February 24, 2009 Mule, Z, Sammy, Hudler, Dats and Conklin would be on my list. I think Getlaf's contract is reasonable and there's a few more years on it left to go where I bet he'll perform as well or better than this year. Going the other way i think those two clowns in New York are worst bang for your buck - Gomez and Drury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
