Clarkson was on LTIR for part of it I think which helped it move through a good part of the contract (I think)
Finger was a a 4 year contract at less than $4 million...terrible but you could work around it.
Phaneuf is a candidate but even he was not that far off from a $7 million player for a few years.  It was also over in 2 less years.
For the Canadiens (the team I cheer for) there was the Gomez contract.   Not as bad as Skinner's, but I think it ended up worse because we traded actual decent assets to get that contract as he was alrady declining.

None of those contracts have the hit or term of Skinner, so IF he does not turn it around too much it probably hurts more.  But as you said he could turn it around.

The Rangers seemed to make some really bad deals.   They had the beenfit of being aboe to bury them without a cap consequence, but can't do that anymore
