On the surface, it doesn't look like the worst of contracts.
The Boston Bruins extended defenseman Kevan Miller a four-year, $10 million contract extension earlier this week, after their 28 year-old defenseman put up career highs in goals (5) and assists (13) last year.
So what's wrong with that? Put simply, Miller's production, while decent for a third liner, is replaced relatively easily, and for relatively cheap. Consider that the Arizona Coyotes got .23 points per game from Kevin Connauton off the waiver wire. Kevan Miller put up .25 points per game in the best season he's had thus far.
