The Edmonton Oilers are ranked last in this category

Nevertheless, DailyFaceoff.com analyzes every aspect of a salary cap, including players and salaries. According to their analysis, the Edmonton Oilers have the worst salary cap efficiency

According to the website, there isn't a team worse off financially than the Edmonton Oilers and you'd think it'd have been the Toronto Maple Leafs right?

For analyzing cap efficiency, the website uses a variety of contract types, such as no movement clauses, dead cap space, bargain contracts, and good versus bad deals.

Among the bad contracts considered is Darnell Nurse's contract, despite the fact that Nurse is a good defenseman who can eat a lot of minutes, he doesn't, unfortunately, play like a $9.25 Million dollar defenseman. As well as Jack Campbell, Warren Foegele, Brett Kulak, and the team's deal with James Neal, which remains on the books, there are a number of bad contracts listed.

The NHL is currently a flat-cap league, so contracts like Campbell's, Foegele's, and Kulak's could be considered replacement-level players elsewhere.

Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, and Evan Bouchard could all be adversely affected by the mishandling of Nurse's Bridge deal.
