LostViking Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 How can it be Booth for Vancouver? Booth gets paid by medical insurance, Vancouver doesn't pay a dime. If you want to include insurance money, I think sponsorship money should be included as well. I also feel it is incredibly wrong to use salary and not cap hit as the measure. In other words, Garrison might be paid $6.5m in salary, but you could argue we are paying $4.5m for Garrison to play this season, and $2m for him to play 44% of the 2017-2018 season (where he makes $2.5m salary), so for the $6.5m we in theory get about 118 games out of him. I have to believe this article was written with the idea that Garrison's $6.5m only gets us his 82 games this year, which implies they don't understand NHL contracts.

JPrince Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Read the Penguins section about Fleury. It says Pittsburgh was eliminated in the second round, but they actually made it to the third? Am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 How can they say anyone is overpaid for the upcoming season? Do they have a crystal ball or ??? How 'bout last year and then there is something to talk about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangoes Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Really no one is overpaid in our Canucks squad Im thinking maybe Burrows or Higgins are overpaid but other than those players, no one is overpaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggins Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Stupid to consider actual salary when the cap hit is reasonable. At least in most cases. It's not like Garrison's is a "till death do us part" deal like Lou's. Meaning there will be years actually "played" where he's underpaid. In a standard deal (5 years or less) the cap hit is all that should be considered. It shows just how stupid (or ignorant if you prefer) The Bleacher Report is and why I pay little attention to most bloggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucksnihilist Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 A lot of those players still provide good value. Garrison is one of them. That was written by someone who doesn't know all the players he is listing - obviously hasn't even seen most of them play in the last year.

oldnews Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Dumbass concept of overpaid - but not a surprise, considering it's a dumbass source. Cherry picking a year out of a six year contract as if it indicates being overpaid is misleading and irrelevent - Garrison's real 'pay' is his cap hit, which is a bargain. His contract is merely structured so that he makes a nice chunk of his earnings in the first three seasons, his signing bonuses setting up a player who had never made big money - he can go out and buy himself a nice house, etc - what the Bleacher list fails to realize is that in years 5 and 6 he'll be taking home 3.6 and 2.5 million... at which point, if he's still healthy, they can put him on their most underpaid list, derp.

billabong Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Garrison is so reliable....he isn't flaky like edler or bieksa Idk how booth isn't the consensus for the most overpaid Canuck...if he wasn't injured, it would be a toss up if he would have been bought out or not Also I don't wanna stir the pot but burrows is gonna be paid 6m this year....idk I'm just sayin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonz Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Bleache Report is terrible. Garrison is underpaid... (I'm pretty sure he took a discount to come to Vancouver) Booth should be the one on the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

higgyfan Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 IMO, he didn't deserve that contract at the time but i gave him a pass because of his performance in '11 playoffs. but you're right, he's overpaid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
