Low-risk, high-reward, that’s pretty much the only way to come out of free agency with a win, so let’s look...
The nature of free agency makes it very difficult for teams to make smart moves. Considering that every player usually has several suitors trying to convince them to sign with them, it always results in teams overpaying players, so the only way to get good deals is to wait out the feeding frenzy and pick at the remains or be one step ahead of everyone else.
First, I’ll start with several honorable mentions, contracts that are still really good but they could have been signed to slightly less money or term, or the player could be mediocre just as much as they could be great on their new team.one of my picks to end up with a bad contract this offseason The lone downside is the performance bonuses that come with it could come back to haunt the Oilers. The main reason Brown signed for as cheap as he did was because he spent a long enough time on long-term injured reserve last season to be eligible for performance bonuses, which is where he’ll make most of his money. The only requirement is that he plays 10 games and he gets $3.225 million, which for the Oilers gets carried over to next season.
Also like Brown’s, Pacioretty’s performance bonuses are related to games played, with him getting $1 million after 10 games, another $500k at 15 games, and the final $500k at 20 games.
