Anything under 10, I'm a happy fan.

The question is what that does to the rest of the team and the cap. How much does Tkachuk get? Mangiapane? Kylington? How much does Lindholm on his next contract, which is coming up in a couple years? Does it prevent a big signing?
If you have ELC players with significant contributions, that helps a lot.
