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

8.5% 10.0% 8.0% 26.5%
6.0% 7.0% 6.0% 19.0%
3.5% 4.5% 3.5% 11.5%
1.5% 1.5% 1.5% 4.5%
1.0% 1.0% 2.0% 63.5%

7.0% 7.0% 14.0%
5.0% 5.0% 10.0%
2.0% 2.0% 4.0%
1.0% 1.0% 29.0%

6.0% 6.0%
1.5% 1.5% 7.5%

I think this is a great start.

This line up needs to score 250 gf and only have 220 ga or less scored against it to have a chance at the cup.

So my changes would be to have ELC's or cheap young players on the 3rd / 4th lines, and pay your top two lines more. Defence looks fine as well.
