They played the system and won. Call it cheating, cap circumvention or whatever. The fact is most championship teams do it.
The Hawks did it with Kane. The Wings would just acquire future hall of famers in a no cap era. In the NBA, guys screw over their original teams and go form an alliance. In baseball, Dodgers have a massive payroll, Astros literally cheated, the Yankees would be putting out all-star teams as their everyday lineup. Even the most respected dynasty in sports imo, the Patriots have been busted of deflate gate, spy gate etc.
If you're not cheating you're not trying, right?
Just glad this season is done, go back to normal schedules.
