2011-12 Most Overpaid Defensemen

This year’s list of most overpaid defensement based on the True Value they provided to their teams had two things in common. All had injuries during the season which kept them out of a significant number of games. Also, on top of not playing many games, they also did not perform at a level commiserate with their contract, so that even if their stats were extrapolated to a full season they would still have grossly underperformed relative to their cap hit. A third coincindence is that all three were named Michael.

		Team	GP	Goals	Assists	Points	TOI	True Value ($M)	Cap Hit ($M)	Difference ($M)
1.	Mike Green	WSH	32	3	4	7	21.03	1.11	5.11	-3.99
2.	Mike Komisarek	TOR	45	1	4	5	16.65	1.10	4.50	-3.40
3.	Michal Rozsival	PHX	54	1	12	13	19.32	1.83	5.00	-3.17

Chris Pronger and Andrei Markov are not on this list since both players played less than 15 games in 2011-12, otherwise they would be nat or near the top of this list.
