How many teams with 10 mil cap hits win playoff series?

Not that i think either JG or MT are getting that much but 2 guys at 10 is hardly a death knell.
Tampa has 2 guys at 9.5M (Point's extension kicks in next year). One of those guys is arguably the best goalie in the league (Vasy). The other is probably the best winger, certainly a top 5-10 forward (Kucherov). Both are proven playoff beasts. Tampa also has arguably the best Dman, a high end 1-2 centre duo, and a lot of good depth players. Pretty different circumstances IMO.

I'd rather see both signed long term starting with an 8, no way in hell either should be getting 10M+.
