I am thinking that the top ten players and your starting goaltender have to account for at least 75% of your cap spending or else you are putting to many resources into depth and not enough into high end skill. 
 
Based on this, below is how I would allocate resources. 
 
LW1	C1	RW1			 
LW2	C2	RW2			 
LW3	C3	RW3			 
LW4	C4	RW4			 
	C5	RW5			 
					 
LD1	RD1				 
LD2	RD2				 
LD3	RD3
