You can't avoid the best players because they are more expensive.

They're not going to wait until the end of the year to give him his deal, they will pay up front. And he's already won a vezina, so that's what they'll be paying for. A vezina he won in a 49 game season, the most he's ever played. He will use the Hellybuck deal as a comparable. They will come in just under that at ~7.75 x 8 before he even plays a game. And despite what you or others say about Ullmark being better, their GM in waiting and HoF goalie disagrees and hasn't shied away from letting everyone know that.
