I don't disagree, though draft picks lower the cost of talent and therefore maximize profits. The return on Monahan and Gaudreau has been massive. Will also be on Bennett, I assume. You can win with players on ELC's.
Chicago, as pointed out, is a model of recent success. 3 Cups and 2 conference finals in 7 years. Probably because of trading (instead of overpaying) non 'core' players - Saad being the latest example.
