Which of these guys would you take for free (meaning no assets given) even if they had the contracts listed?
Kinda funny people think giving a goalie a Vezina goalie 10+ mil a year for an extended period would be a good idea. I mean it has worked so well in the past right? Gotta go with Kirill here. Maybe McD.
Without a salary cap? Sure won't disagree with that. With a salary cap? No player (McDavid included) is worth 20% of your cap space, not if you want to contend.Kaprizov and McDavid are the closest to their actual value in this list.
In what way? He could've been making 15 million per year (Which he will make at minimum on his next deal). He took a discount.None. I want to win cups and teams with players making north of 10 mil do not win cups.
People taking McDavid at 17mil are not thinking about what that'd do to the cap. His contract is arguably bad right now at 12.5 (in terms of cap-space -- not talent)
If absolutely had to take one, give me the goalie at 12. If he comes close to earning that contract maybe he steals me a few rounds (a.ka. Price). Any of the others are going to cripple the team with their cap hits.
I'm assuming the cap would've gone up big time if he were making 17 million per year. So maybe it all evens out?McD at 17m is not a bad contract. It's just hard to build around it.

Idk.
