Five of the most burdensome contracts in fantasy hockey.

 

When most GMs assemble their fantasy rosters, they have certain guys who take up a big part of their cap, and these players are normally your stars.  You expect them to put up big fantasy numbers to offset the big piece of your cap that they eat up.  Unfortunately, that doesn't always work out. 

 

In this week's Capped, we will take a look at five well-paid stars that are simply not performing up to their big pay cheques.

Let's be honest, Brian Campbell has never been a big goal scorer throughout his NHL career. In fact, he has only surpassed eight goals in a season once and that was back in 2005-2006 but one goal through 26 games is low even for him.  He is one of the leagues best passers and his biggest asset is his speed but he seems to be struggling this year.  Considering he is paired with Aaron Ekblad over 78% of the time, and we all know how well he's played so far this year, it's hard to understand how Campbell only has eight points so far, especially when you look at the time on ice and the power play time he receives.  Granted, Florida has been anything but an offensive juggernaut so far this year, but you have to wonder if Campbell, at 31 years old, isn't starting to lose a step. 

 

On the bright side, five of his eight points have been on the power play.
