No. The poster you quoted was misleading. First of all, that list is only 29 of the 45 who make more than Kuba. It's likely the other 16 (guys like Green, Lidstrom, Pronger) were left off for a reason. And even on that list, I would argue that...

McCabe 5.7
Visnovsky 5.6
Souray 5.4
Hainsey 4.5
Ballard 4.2
Liles 4.2
Gilbert 4.0
Wideman 3.88
Spacek 3.83
Orpik 3.75
Bieksa 3.75

... are all better contracts than Kuba's. And then you need to realize - what about all the other defensemen making LESS than Kuba?! How that poster managed to use his list as a reason to convince people to KEEP Kuba is a mystery to me, especially since he pointed out something rather audacious -- namely that Filip Kuba is the 46th highest paid NHL defenseman!
