The best value players in the Stanley Cup playoffs: Here's SEllisHockey highlighting a player from each conference finalist team making a big contribution on a low AAV.
If you’re a fan of certain teams with high-value stars not producing, you’ve been in for a treat these playoffs.
Whether it be Kirill Kaprizov’s one goal , Artemi Panarin’s two assists or Toronto’s Core Four falling asleep in the second round, there’s been no shortage of highly paid underachievers. That’s typical in the postseason, especially when defensive units start becoming laser-focused on shutting down stars like their careers depend on it.
But it’s the contributions from the lower-paid guys, sometimes players looking to prove they can have long careers, that can take you forward. Sometimes, it’s an inexpensive backup goalie stealing the show. Other times, it’s a bottom-six forward managing to break through. In a salary cap world, you need players on low salaries coming in to make a difference. And we’ve seen a handful of these inexpensive players shine through after two rounds.
For this exercise, we’re looking for players that have produced on standard deals, not entry-level contracts. Dallas, for example, has gotten great results from Wyatt Johnston and Thomas Harley, but that’s not fair since they’re on their first deals. So, here’s a look a player on each team that’s been productive on a deal under $2 million:Cousins once had a 103-point season in the OHL, leaving many to think he’d have a solid career in the NHL.
