The hardest part is getting the star players.

Chicago also does not win the SC or maybe even make the playoffs if Brad Richards doesn't play #2C for 2M.
It will be interesting when the elc/cheap players surrounding the core theory falls apart.... The Hawks added 8M in cap hit just keeping Toews and Kane.
