Is Brett Kulak's Contract Really Worst? | Colorado Avalanche News

Brett Kulak’s five-year, $22.5M contract with the Avalanche landed him on The Athletic’s worst deals list — but is it really that bad? While analytics point to a steep decline in his impact, especially on expected goals, critics argue he still brought valuable depth to the blue line. At $4.5M/year, the cap hit feels reasonable given his age (32) and the rising salary cap — and he’ll be 37 when the deal ends, same as Josh Manson. With many players over 30 on long-term deals, calling this one of the top 10 worst in the league seems overstated, especially when compared to some of the league’s truly bloated contracts.
