Pay and overpay for legit top end guys, get creative elsewhere. You can't win without top tier guys. We paid Jarome Iginla 17.95% of the Salary Cap in 2005/2006, paying Johnny Gaudreau 14% of the salary cap is a no brainer in my eyes.

That’s a fair point. NYR isn’t crying about having Panarin on 11.5 and Zibanejad soon to be paid significantly more as well.
