When looking at the Edmonton Blizzard, there are couple players that pop out right away, Derrick Glover is on 4m deal and Wolf Von Hammersmark earns a whopping 5m, both are under 650 TPE and playing on the bottom-6, Glover on the third line as a center and Wolf played in the third line as well before getting pushed into the press box at the end of the regular season - he did not even play full 50 games, so those two are in the classic overpaid category. I would say a fair price would be around 2.5m for both, decent players still, but paying 9m for the pair? That is too much for inactives.

Luckily both have their deals running out now, so my suggestion is kicking their asses out of the door if they ask money like that.

To add a positive touch to this report, guys like McIntyre, Tanner, Mack and Pepperoni should get a pay increase, elite level players and extremely talented upcoming young players who are already playing in big roles, they are the future and core of the Blizzard and could all maybe use at least million or two extra on their salary to match the work ethic and talent levels. Perhaps the money potentially coming out of the books with Gloves and WVH can be used on the mentioned players?
