In years past it was rarer (Horton in Toronto) that teams intentionally went above the cap willingly. But now Anaheim still needs to spend 17M to reach the cap floor, Detroit needs 14M, Buffalo needs 12M. Yes they have RFA and probably UFAs to sign, but there's a lot of cap space to go around right now.
Also Datsyuk and the 16th were traded for the 20th and 53rd. Another sign that if there isn't money implications, the costs are minimal.

Wasn't Chychrun grabbed with that pick?
