In a new article by the Athletic, Dom Luszczyszyn ranks the NHL's 10 worst contracts. Last year, Drew Doughty drew attention for being nothing like the Norris Trophy and Stanley Cup champion he used to be.
That being said, "It's (the list) based on a projected outcome of the future based on a player's age and what he's done in recent seasons. But these are humans and math can change with some extra determination and willpower."

"The problem with Jones's deal isn't really what he is now, it's the length of the deal. Eight years is a very long time and if he already isn't worth it at 27, what's that going to look like at age 35? Probably not good."
"The problem with that is he's being paid to be double what he is...$9.6 million is elite defenceman money. It's extremely hard to live up to."
Surprisingly, Flyers legend James Van Riemsdyk is not on the list.
