Yah, exactly. That stat is more to do with historical salaries than the idea that you can't win the Cup with players making more than $10mil AAV. If anything, going forward that stat will flip. In the next 10 years they'll say "No team has won the Cup in the last 8 years without a star player making over $10mil".

I mean every superstar player is going to make $10AAV+ as contracts get signed in the coming years and teams that win the Cups historically have superstar players, so.....
