Ignoring the fact that the Boston Bruins have sent David Backes to the Providence Bruins and thus tucked his buried at least some of his cap hit, John Moore is the obvious next most under-qualified and overpaid player on the roster.
Kevan Miller has been unfortunate enough to be on long-term injured reserve for the season and thus we can easily ignore the $2.5 million salary he’s earning. David Backes, safe to say, isn’t worth $6 million for the next season and a bit. Likewise, the $2.75 million that John Moore will earn for this season and next 3 preceding that.
