The team from a couple of years ago did not all have 10M in the bank and 3-4 years left and 18-20 M guaranteed. Almost all the important players have signed HUGE more money than they will be able to spend contracts over the last couple of years.
This is a very well paid group of individuals no matter how much or little they care or play.
Bennett/Tkachuk/ Jankowski are the basically the only important guys on the team that are in a position to get a monster contract if they perform well for the next year or 2.
