Canucks D-Man Overpaid?

Recommended Posts

Canucks 8 D-Man

Alex Edler- 5 Million

Jason Garrison- 4.6 Million

Kevin Bieska- 4.6 Million

Dan Hamhuis- 4.5 Million

Keith Ballard-4.2 Million

Andrew Alberts-1,225,000 Million

Chris Tanev- 900,000

Cam Barker- 700,000 (48 Games)

Im Certain the Canucks pay there d man the most in the league. But Bieska, Ballard and maybe Garrison arent worth that much at all.

Bieska is between a 2.5 to 3.5 million

Ballard- 2 to 3 Million

Garrison- 3 to 4 Million

So is our D- Man Overpaid?

Solution is to trade lu and ballard for a key 2nd line forward and prospects/Picks

Lu and Ballard cap= is just over 9.5 Million in Cap.

Averaging around 3.5-4M per year for each defenseman isn't bad considering what they would actually get from other teams in the NHL.

Hamhuis will be able to net at least 5M from another team. Edler definitely 6M+. Bieksa around 5M+. Garrison would've definitely notched at least 5.5M+ from other teams in the offseason. And Ballard was already signed at 4.2M so we couldn't do anything about that. But he would at least get 3M. Alberts was already at 1.25M from Carolina so we had no control over it but he would fetch close to 1M.

Are our defensemen overpaid? Not really. Aside from maybe a couple, we're getting a great deal from all of our defensemen salary wise and they chose to turn down more money to get a chance at winning the Cup. Tanev will definitely demand minimum 1-1.5M when he has to re-sign.

So we win 1 game 5-0 and our team is awesome. We don't need to add anything.

Next game we lose 4-1, and suddenly every player sucks and is overpaid.

Can't say I'm surprised though. The bottom line is, their powerplay converted twice and ours couldn't produce anything on 7 attempts.

You can't win games if you don't win the special teams battles. This game was more than winable. The D wasn't teh problem tonight, it was a team loss from top to bottom.
