I think you will need to look at each situation differently.

There is a salary cap in the league ... Each team has the same resources. There is not that much difference in the 20 teams that spend to the cap. The best players being the best players gets you to the playoffs and wins the games.
Check the
top scorers in the playoffs since 2018... no surprises here except maybe Rielly Smith
My theory is if you dropped a top-5 (Kucherov, Mackinnon, Hedman, Bergeron, Marchand, Hellebuyck) in the league player on the Flames instead of Gaudreau (or Gio) the Flames would make the playoffs more often and win some more series.
