I understand it just fine.

Point is Stars drive the play, handle them then fill out roster. If you are overpaying depth guys you are sinking yourself.

This is how you sous veed.

Overpaying is overpaying and gives you the same cap problems whether the player is young, old, or a star or not. In fact, overpaying role players usually doesn't hurt you are long, whereas overpaying young players you have a better chance of getting out from under.

The effect on your cap is the same.

But LOu your hero overpays very bad and average plauyers.

Marner will be battling for the scoring title this year and the haters will suck it. Licked it, sticked it, stamped it.

He can definitely win the Art Ross.

I guess you’re supposed to win the cup to be worthy of a big contract.

Yeah but it's ok to not on other teams.

There's a difference between getting paid big and getting overpaid big, though. And one guy on the Leafs is overpaid big.
