I’m giving Jeff Finger the nod here. Just because of now overpaid he was compared to total cap and how much of a no name he was.

Pretty much go down the list of available choices and order them in terms of length. Done.

edit: How is Karl Alzner on this list? If we’re going back 10+ years I think we can throw out a few names before his...

How about Bobby Ryan or Loui Eriksson or Bryan Little or Nathan Horton or Ryan Callahan or Frans Nielsen or Marian Gaborik?

Not Kurt Sauer

A lot of these you could justify because of what the player was pre-contract. The Finger contract made no sense then and still doesn't.

A lot of these picks came from a random list I found online and in the 1st forum I asked for suggestions and added some certain guys. However I’m just not adding more suggestions just because I don’t want this list to be filled with like 40+ players.

Absolutely agree. It's one thing to overpay a star or proven player...but when Finger was signed people were thinking who's Jeff Finger?

Add Luca Sbisa.

Though I have nothing against the guy, I gotta go with Bryzgalov here.

Not only was the contract a little overboard for the then 30-31 year old goalie, but the fact that the contract likely played a role into the departure of Carter and Richards, to me, adds even more salt to the wound.

That Wade Redden contract was brutal knowing he spent most of the time in the AHL.

Should include what their salary was at percentage of cap at beginning of contract.
