The New York Islanders fourth line received far too much money, the Toronto Maple Leafs made the riskiest investments and the Detroit Red Wings offered too much term to certain players. At least, those were the popular opinions voiced within the hockey analytics community this summer.To arrive at these results, a panel of 22 leading names in hockey analytics community was assembled, across a broad spectrum of locations and perspectives; media members (both mainstream and independent) as well as researchers were included in the group. Each panelist received a list of the 68 restricted and unrestricted free agents who agreed to new contracts with an annual cap hit of at least $2 million on or after the 2016 draft (June 24-25).Using statistical criteria and standards of their own choosing, but setting aside more subjective factors like grit, leadership and clutch play, each statistical expert either approved, disapproved or expressed neutrality on each contract.Overall, approval dropped from 66.5 percent last summer to 59.8 percent for this years free-agent contracts. Breaking it down by type and position, the lowest approvals were for goalies (51.1 percent) and unrestricted free-agent forwards (54 percent), and seven of the 68 contracts received approval ratings below 10 percent.After looking at the best deals last week, lets dig in to the riskiest deal in each of the five categories, and examine some key stats to highlight what the main concerns were. Andrew Wiggins Jersey . "It doesnt get any better than that," Giambi said. "Im speechless." The Indians are roaring toward October. Giambi belted a two-run, pinch-hit homer with two outs in the ninth inning to give Cleveland a shocking 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night, keeping the Indians up with the lead pack in the AL wild-card race. Ricky Rubio Timberwolves Jersey . Calgary scored on the first shift, and Michael Cammalleri scored twice as the Flames cruised to a 5-2 win over the Washington Capitals on Saturday. http://www.nbatimberwolvesproshop.com/womens-jordan-hill-basketball-jersey/ . Pirlo limped out of Sundays 1-0 win over Udinese after just 13 minutes. Juventus says Pirlo underwent tests on Monday which revealed he has "a second-degree lesion to the collateral medial ligament in his right knee. Custom Timberwolves Jersey . Giroud, who wasnt in the starting lineup for two matches after allegations about his private life and a decline in form, scored twice in the first half. Tomas Rosickys chip made it 3-0 before half time at Emirates Stadium, while defender Laurent Koscielny scored an unmarked header in the second half. Nemanja Bjelica Jersey . -- The St. Johns IceCaps weathered a wild first period with the help of goaltender Jussi Olkinuora, before finding offensive inroads in the second. From showcases and tournaments in Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee, Indiana, Washington, D.C., Georgia and South Carolina, the nations elite recruits were on the move in July. Here are six players who dazzled along the recruiting trail.Peyton Carter: This 5-foot-6 point guard from Monarch (Louisville, Colorado) may have been the biggest stock-riser of them all during the busy July evaluation period. She proved to be a cerebral leader on the floor throughout the month. She was consistent, executing plays in the half-court game and delivering a scoring punch both off the dribble and from beyond the arc. The 2017 prospect led her Boulder Rockies team to impressive wins at both USJN Nationals in Washington, D.C., and in Augusta, Georgia, at Blue Star Nationals. Most importantly, Carter was a superb game manager.Taya Corosdale: A stretch-4 with range to the 3-point line, the 6-2 Corosdale outperformed her competition, bringing a consistent offensive and defensive presence to the court. Corosdale, a senior-to-be at Bothell (Washington) was effective on the offensive glass, scoring on misfires from her teammates while also being a versatile defender. An integral part of the success for her team, Seattle based Tree of Hope made a run to the semifinals of the Gold Bracket at Nike Nationals.Khayla Pointer: Already committed to LSU, where she will play for her aunt, Nikki Fargas (formerly Nikki Caldwell), the 5-6 point guard was perhaps the main reason why her Team Elite-Pointer, coached by her father, Kirk, won the Gold Division at Nike Nationals. The high-riser in the 2017 class displayed a calm demeanor, read the defenses, broke pressure and distributed to her teammates. Additionally, Pointer, of Holy Innocents (Atlanta), scored both in up-tempo and off the bounce. Pointer positioned herself as one of the best ellite floor-leaders in July.ddddddddddddAlissa Pili: If you are looking for a no-nonsense power player who simply gets the job done, may we suggest a trip to Alaska? We hear its nice this time of year. Pili, a sophomore-to-be at Dimond (Anchorage) who played for Alaska Lady Hoops at the End of the Oregon Trail in early July, is versatile in addition to reliable. The mobile 6-foot power forward can defend numerous positions. On offense, she brings superb footwork to the paint and consistently delivers in traffic.Ashley Joens: Looking for points? This 5-10 shooting guard from Iowa City (Iowa) brings solid fundamentals and a deadly offensive arsenal. The junior-to-be can take her defender off the dribble, finish the play in traffic or deliver from deep. Either way, Joens is a superb backcourt prospect, helping her All-Iowa Attack team to a quarterfinal appearance in the Gold Division at Nike Nationals.Megan Walker: The rest of this list focuses on players who are on the move. This entry is about one who is staying put. The nations No. 1 prospect, fresh off a gold medal with Team USA at the FIBA Americas U18 Championship in Valdivia, Chile, cemented her status at Nike Nationals, helping lead her Boo Williams Team to a final-four finish in the Gold Division. Walker, a 6-1 shooting guard at Monacan (North Chesterfield, Virginia), was simply spectacular in transition as well as off the dribble. Averaging 15 points and 5 rebounds per game during the grueling Nike event, Walker delivers with consistency like no other prospect in the class of 2017.
