Wisniewski to Columbus - 6/33

Wisniewski makes out nicely with a cap hit of $5.5M. He's obviously coming off a huge season but that's a lotta cash.

He's a 3.5-4mil guy, Columbus overpaid by quite a lot.

Columbus overpaid big time. I like that they're trying to make themselves into a playoff team, but overpaying for a guy who might have just overachieved for a season is a mistake.

May be the worst contract of the day. Wisniewski ain't that special.

Its between him and Jovanovski right now.

Jovo's is worse, simply due to age and the fact that he is only a force in one of three zones on the ice nowadays.

I wouldn't say it's a massive overpayment, but I think he should've got around 4.5. I watched Wiz for half the year and I really wish that Montreal kept him instead of Markov, to be honest. He's gritty and he has a helluva shot. And he's actually a lot better on defense than I expected. Has some boneheaded turnovers every once in a while but I wish the Habs kept him.

To say he overachieved last season would be, ironically, a huge understatement.

Some would call it hitting his prime. Which he did. I could easily see him hitting that number again, playing with Nash and Carter and getting the bulk of PP time.
