If a team has legit cup aspirations, they can make the playoffs without their best player by being solid and deep. And take full advantage of the LTIR savings in doing so. Kucherov and the Lightning the obvious example.
And if you miss the playoffs, I would just hope any 2022 picks were top 5 protected.
Imagine adding Eichel AND Wright.
