from Eric Duhatschek of The Athletic,
The numbers attached to each contract are only going to become more important as revenue loss from cancelled games increases the chance that the salary cap upper limit stays flat at $81.5 million. Almost every team is going to feel the constraints of a lower ceiling and this subsequently makes players on bargain deals who provide surplus-value on their contracts even more valuable.
With that in mind, it’s a prudent time to analyze which players are giving their teams the most bang for their buck. I’ll use colleague Dom Luszczyszyn’s model to highlight five players from each club who provided the most value for their cap hits this season and then will handpick what I think is the best contract moving forward.
