The Wild West – A Look at the History of Long-Term Deals for Players over 27

Dobber

2022-09-05

Before J.T. Miller re-signed with the Vancouver Canucks on Friday night for seven years at $8 million AAV beginning next season when he will be 30 years old. I was going to write an article about what I considered the 15 worst current contracts in the West.

With all the discussion in Vancouver and around the league I thought it would be interesting to look at the history of similar deals instead.

The parameters set begin July 1st, 2011 with minimums of five years, $6 million AAV and signed at 27 years of age or later.

Since free agency began in 2011, 89 of these contracts were signed and here they are broken down by calendar year:

2011: 2

2012: 2

2013: 10

2014: 3

2015: 5

2016: 10

2017: 4

2018: 10

2019: 15

2020: 7

2021: 11

2022: 10

Just looking at the breakdown of the past 12 years, the trend is certainly growing as 53 of the 89 (59.5%) contracts have been signed over the past five years.

Now we are going to look at each year in detail and try to determine what value each deal brought to the table over the length of the contract. We need to keep in mind that the average salary is between $2.8 and 3.0 million over this timespan. All of these players should be well above average and should be held to a higher standard.

We are going to use WAR as the comparable to each of these players from Evolving Wild. We aren't going to deal with gradual declines but look at the contract as a whole to see how they compare.

2011 contracts (1 of 2 successful)

I didn't know what the result would be before writing this article, but the number of contracts that don't work out for older players is much worse than I thought. There are other means to measure success, but using WAR is a consistent measurement to use with salary.

To put things in perspective here is Johnny Gaudreau's contract that just expired with Calgary (six years – $6.75 million AAV). His cumulative WAR was 16.9 for an average of 2.82. His WAR to salary ratio was 0.42.

I've put relatively successful contracts with a WAR to salary ratio of 0.20 but really these players should be around 0.30 or higher for the money they are being paid.

An argument could be made that teams are paying for three or four years of high production and eating the last two to four years of the contract. That makes things even more bleak for these signings as we can see a lot of them aren't panning out after one or two seasons.

Here are the players signed from 2011 through 2019 ranked by WAR to salary ratio from best to worst:
