S41 Best/Worst Bidding Contracts

Abbotsford Canucks

Best: @xDietPepsi 8 RW - $2.5m
I tried to bid him up as best I could, thanks rest of the AHL for the help. He will win 20+ games and be apart of the best line in the AHL.

Worst: @SaltNpeppa9521 LW - $2.75m
This isn't a bad contract but it's the only one that could really go here. He's separated from the guys he plays with so we'll see how he performs.

Bakersfield Condors

Best: @CLiiNcH C - $3.5m
Very good center, has good numbers in the AHL on both consoles. Went for 7.5m in PSN AHL bidding. Solid contract for them.

Worst: @DDA Warrior7211 LD - $3.25m
Hasn't played since s36. Apparently doesn't really play NHL at all anymore. Not sure why they chose to spend this much on this guy when there were a lot of other options.

Belleville Senators

Best: @DeGoood LD - $2.25m
31 points on D last season for 2.25m is pretty good value. Hard to find defensemen that can put up points.

Worst: @Dylaniscool61 RW - $1.75m
Isn't cool enough for this much cap.

Bridgeport Islanders

Best: @xRoyalFlushx911 LD - $2.75m & @GremIin-- LW - $750k
Couldn't decide between these two. @xRoyalFlushx911 is one of the better dmen in the PSN AHL and just went 7m over there. Getting him for $2.75m in this xbox bidding is nice. @GremIin-- is fresh off a 17-1-3 season on PSN and just went for $8m in the PSN AHL. Getting the two of them combined for $3.5m when they cost $15m on PSN is pretty ridiculous.

Worst: @ChrisF1GT RW - $750k
Plot twist, this could also end up being their best contract in bidding.

Charlotte Checkers

Best: @KD514 LW - $3.5m
21 wins and 48 goals last season. Not many players were better. Getting him for under $4m was solid.

Worst: @Im Tryggered LD - $4.25m
He would have gone for less at his regular position after a poor S40, instead he switches to a position he hasn't played in LG before and ends up as one of the highest paid players. Interesting decision by Charlotte.

Chicago Wolves

Best: @scorezyy RW - $750k
Was apart of their top line last season and did well. Getting him back on their team in bidding for 750k is a nice get.

Worst: @Extriisive G - $1m
Not much to choose from bad contract wise so we'll go with @Extriisive. Was their starter last season but didn't perform that well from what I can tell. Were $750k options that have had more success in LG.

Cleveland Monsters

Best: @Duchesne x10 RW - $1.25m
.500 in the NHL last season for Columbus, 18w in the A in S39, has a mem, calder. Really good contract for Cleveland.

Worst: @rxDuI0vI9lI RD - $4.25m
Iraqi Moose goes for a decent chunk after destroying the CHL the past few seasons. A lot to pay for a guy that I don't think anyone on Cleveland has played with before, and on a dman that hasn't really had much success in the upper leagues (yet). I'd suspect he plays with their top line though and puts up some big numbers.

Coachella Valley Firebirds

Best: @Frxdpel LW - $1.25m
Lost in game 7 of the cup finals on PSN last season as as LD. Him and fellow PSN and esport teammate @van_der_Heide will be a nice duo for Coachella.

Worst: @CoinCorgi812697 C - $2.5m
That's a lot of money for the Patrick Maroon of the AHL. Tampa Bay spent pennies for Maroon. Coachella is spending movie night money.

Colorado Eagles

Best: @Levachkin LW - $1.5m
Calder Cup winner on a nice contract. Should be plugged into their top line and put up numbers.

Worst: @Lowdss RW - $3.25m
A lot to pay in this bidding for a guy that hasn't had much success since S35. There were a lot of cheaper options.

Grand Rapids Griffins

Best: @xPICKARDx54 LW - $750k
Longtime NHL dman. Has a lot of esports experience on LW. Should do well on this contract and could be a callup option for the NHL.

Worst: @Sir Shacklet0n RD - $5m
I just don't see what warrants spending $5m on Shack. I haven't played with him so maybe he's better than his LG numbers.

Hartford Wolfpack

Best: @BARRDOWN20 LD - $750k
Real solid dmen at 750k were hard to come by in this bidding. Barrdown has done pretty well in his two AHL seasons including a calder finals run last season.

Worst: @That 1 Odd Guy RD - $2.75m
Paying for NHL experience without much success in the upper leagues. Wouldn't say it's a bad contract just think there were guys in the same price range that would hold more trade value due to past stats and such.

Henderson Silver Knights

Best: @Pres LV C - $1m
Not sure how this guy went so cheap. 16 wins and 60 points for Grand Rapids last season. Very good contract.

Worst: @Trouba I8I LD - $3m
Ziba wanted Laf bad, but not $3m bad. You know it's a bad contract when the team he was destined to go to decides that they're fine with losing him.

Hershey Bears

Best: @Ix Mazy xI RW - $2.5m
Very skilled player. Probably about what he's worth. Will score a lot.

Worst: @TonySoprxno LD - $2.5m
ChuckFinley goes for $2.5m in his first season at D. Good two-way center so he'll probably be fine at this price.

Iowa Wild

Best: @larry1790 LD - $1.5m
Has been screwed by bad teams in the NHL the past two seasons. Very strong history of AHL play. Hopefully his low contract doesn't result in him being called up to the N yet again.

Worst: @Olverz l70l RW - $5.25m
Won the scoring title last season for my team, didn't re-sign with us, and then becomes the highest paid player in bidding. Will he score at will again this season? Probably. Was he the best player in bidding? No.

Laval Rocket

Best: @Bcoms72 RD - $3.25m
Good price for SNER0. 16 wins and 30 points last season. Should perform similar this season.

Worst: @Moookiiie LW - $1.75m
Has had a lot of success in the CHL over the years but only 15 wins last season and with how deep forward bidding was this season it seems like a lot to pay.

Lehigh Valley Phantoms

Best: @Boogy RFA LD - $1.75m
Very good PSN AHL dman. Hasn't had any success on xbox yet but this is a good bet.

Worst: @fuzzmiller23 C - $5m
Isn't really a bad contract just an expensive one. Gives them an elite 1-2 punch down the middle.

Manitoba Moose

Best: @lVlaT LW - $3.75m
+33 in the NHL on LW the past two seasons. Lots of past AHL success. Should be one of the top LWs in the league.

Worst: @WarPigs011 RD - $2.75m
PSN guy. Hasn't had much success over there. Coachella wanted him though so he's likely better than his stats suggest.

Milwaukee Admirals

Best: @gabfont RW - $1.5m
@Ouellette92 and @lKane l88l pick up their esports linemate for a great price. This line should win 20 games.

Worst: @Velnoo LW - $2.25m
Is still 0-6 in the NHL after numerous chances to ECU and finally win a game. 750k max. Also smells.

Ontario Reign

Best: @MacknChel29 RW - $1m
Guy had 19 wins last season, and plays esports with @Ziba x 93. You'd think someone would have done literally any research at all and bid this guy up a bit. Big steal.

Worst: @TyrantOfSicily RD - $5m
I honestly have no idea who this guy is but the boys on NoThumbs said he wasn't worth $5m so he can be their worst contract. Seems to have good stats so idk.

Providence Bruins

Best: @LolaBunnyiswife LW - $1.25m
PSN NHL owner. Very good defenseman and has thumbs on forward. I'd assume he moves to C and becomes their 2nd line center.

Worst: @Garnieggs RW - 750k
His stats imply CHL TC but they know him I believe and 750k is 750k.

Rochester Americans

Best: @UNCLE JUlCE C - $2.5m
Very good center from what I've heard. Was expensive last season and didn't do that well. Should be back to winning 16-20 games this season with all his buddies on Rochester.

Worst: @iamchillson G - $1.25m
Heard he's good but there were a lot of good goalies in bidding that went for less or that didn't get bids at all.

Rockford Icehogs

Best: @Gxhle RW - $1.5m
Syracuse G7 C in s39 and just went $2m in PSN NHL bidding to @JClaus33's Canes. Ran some club with him last night and was very impressed.

Worst: @SiLLverShoT RW - $750k
Why do I keep doing this to myself. Expect to see me ranting about his 50% passing all season.

San Diego Gulls

Best: @Broomball16 RW - $2.5m
Broomball joins an elite group of personalities at a good price. Expect the Gulls to be the league leaders in laughs per 60.

Worst: @GreatHAMbino67 G - $1.25m
Similar to the other Gs I've listed. Just don't get the price when there were NHL goalies going for less or even without bids in a few cases.

San Jose Barracuda

Best: @Murdss RW - 750k
Former esports teammate of mine. Not sure how much he plays anymore but he had sick thumbs. Put him with good players and he should do well.

Worst: @FerranteCesare2 RD - $3.75m
22 wins in S34 and then he disappeared and hasn't been heard from since. If he's anything like he used to be it's a solid contract.

Springfield Thunderbirds

Best: @Averageboy C - $2m
Has been a very good C in the AHL for years. Should overperform his contract.

Worst: @TurnDown4Butts RD - 750k
Best gamertag in the league but the guy must be 65 years old by now based on how long it's been since he last played LG.

Stockton Heat

Best: @tuollupodI C - 750k
Was shocked to see Luke wasn't going for 750k to Iowa. Good price for him.

Worst: @I Hintz 24 I C - 750k
Didn't see anything too bad so this guy can take it. Only has one season on forward and it wasn't pretty.

Syracuse Crunch

Best: @qoosey LW - $1.25m
22-11-0 for Ontario last season including playoffs. Good value contract.

Worst: @xGingembreQc LW - $4.25m
Guy had good stats a decade ago. He'll need to dust off the thumbsticks and grind if he wants to perform to that contract.

Texas Stars

Best: @xCENTRULLAx LD - $1.75m
19w in S39. Lots of esports experience alongside @JP NASTY. Good contract for this D bidding.

Worst: @JuniorHawk16 LW - $2.75m
Just hasn't done much lately in LG. Used to be elite so we'll see.

Toronto Marlies

Best: @JC i2i RW - $750k
Very good NHL dman that switched to forward. Wouldn't be shocked to see him play C instead of RW and lock it down. Will fit in with the Marlies playstyle.

Worst: @l v11 l LD - $4m
Had a very good S40 but not a ton of success outside of that. $4m is a lot to bet on a repeat.

Tucson Roadrunners

Best: @Schwifty Tip LD - $2m
Hasn't played in forever but was a solid NHL dman and dominating AHL dman when he did play.

Worst: @cob13 RW - 750k
Hasn't had a good season in LG since S27 CHL. Can't really go wrong with 750k though.

Utica Comets

Best: @ma I natsirT RD - $2.25m
aCanadianGamer goes for a nice price in this bidding. Has had some AHL success that wasn't 10 seasons ago like some of the guys in this price range.

Worst: @WowMyNameIsTaken RD - $3m
PSN AHL guy that made the switch to xbox. His PSN numbers aren't too impressive so this seems like a bit of an overpayment. He did shockingly go for $6.75m as a center on PSN this bidding so maybe he is cracked.

Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins

Best: @xHigginson03 RD - $1.25m
Was desperately trying to free up a bid slot to snipe Higginson. 3s lord that has been an NHL forward for awhile. Should be among the league leaders in defenseman scoring.

Worst: @l Saucy x 17 l RD - $1.25m
Just has basically no LG success whatsoever. Must know him from outside of LG to pay him above league min.

----------------------------------------------​

 

Naps and I are the real steal

 

Thank you for media.

 

Love the media the Lgnhl could learn from us down here every season

 

coin corgi from coachella is going to be a sleeper pick

 

Just saying
last time someone said I was the worst contract, I won a Bastien. Hope I can prove you wrong lol

 

Yeah you were one of the guys on teams that didn't really have any glaring bad contracts so I just put a goalie that wasn't 750k in for the worst contract ha. You had a very good vouch to me from someone we both know.

 

Can't wait to prove you right lmao

 

Pls don’t bahahahh

 

Apparently I’m a PSN owner anyways good write up and thanks for the kind words

 

I could have sworn I saw you looking for a GM.

 

Ontario getting me at 1.5 is a travesty

 

that was for AHL when i was looking haha

 

@qoosey is only good at modded minecraft

 

good to read! can't say you are wrong with our *worst* contract might be on the top line ahah good luck this season!

 

Great work man. Thanks for the media!

 

Good writeup , keep up the good work !

 

Hendersons best contract here

 

Am goalie
