Mason Raymond didn't have a career year in 2013-14, but it was still one of the best performances he'd had in the NHL. Scoring 45 points on a cheap one-year deal for the Toronto Maple Leafs, he entered unrestricted free agency, and was rewarded with a three-year, $3.15 million AAV contract: his biggest to date.
And at this rate, probably the most he's ever going to get. In 2014-15, he scored 23 points over 57 games. In 2015-16, he had what one could very generously call an awful, awful year.
Season summary
Raymond started his season on the waiver wire, and then, when he wasn't sent down, as a healthy scratch.
