lynxrattle Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 That's a great post on the Russian Five and McDavid. If one thinks of for example Gretzky, he clearly made near superstars of any players playing with him. McDavid's linemates often can't keep up with him, and he can't help them enough. If he can fix that, we'll see some great hockey from Edmonton again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, things aren't as simple as what I am about to post, but, with salaries that high, it doesn't leave as much room for a consistent, quality supporting cast, and therefore, generally, not as complete a team is iced, thus, greater chance to be eliminated earlier, while better salary balanced, better supported teams continue on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedman under 8 million, palat point 5-6 million, Vasilevsky and Kucherov 9.5, Stamkos 8.5. Was it Yzerman who put a spell on those players to take a million or two less than they would have get playing somewhere else... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
