Position: C First signed: 2014-2015 Initial salary: $900,000
You can’t help but feel bad for Jesse Winchester. Signed to be a fourth-line center, he saw his time in Colorado come to an end before it even started. He got a concussion in a preseason game in 2014 and has still yet to recover.
I feel bad for putting him on this list, but a signing that never plays for a team, is a bad signing, no matter why he didn’t take the ice.
Now an unrestricted free agent, Winchester’s career may be over. I hope not.
Here’s to wishing him a full recovery and success in whatever the next chapter of his life holds for him.
