I think it's worth considering the salary cap.

-any established top 6 forward you acquire is likely to have a significant cap hit

-any successful team in a salary cap league has players outperforming their cap hit (such as players on ELCs)

-I know you only considered top 6 forwards important but look at how much cap space the Flames spent on the (terrible) bottom 6 this season. If we had not been throwing away draft picks, maybe we'd have cheaper and better options for the bottom 6.

Personally, I think these low percentages are an argument to draft more than 7 times a year, rather than less
