Really nobody has been able to win with players making more than $10M, overpayment or not.
It's more "See Lightning"
Hurricanes and Panthers haven't won anything yet.
Panthers look great this year but haven't won a playoff round since 1996, and in the last 5 years have a worse playoff record than the Flames do. Flames and Panthers have a lot of similarities in terms of being mis-managed actually.

$10 mil is still a bit steep but $9.5 or less I think we need to take that chance and see if we can continue to draft and develop some players. It will be nice to see what not trading too many picks away for a couple years can do for this team. 2019 we were short but not too bad but 2020 and 2021 we had extra picks for once. Stockton is playing very well lead by kids so for me that is the biggest difference for thinking we can get there with this core. We desperately needs a couple kids to fill some spots next year. Looking like this team may have a few options. Not just like the usual 1 kid to be excited about
