The PA has never cared about the little guy.
THey want the star players on par with other sports. Some NBA teams prior to the new tax would load up on 3-4 players and fill out the rest of the roster for vet mins and a MLE.
The NFL you really only have a shot when your QB is on the rookie scale deal, Mahomes and the defence carried them last year, but it could have been bad because they lacked talent at the skill positions.
The difference is in the NHL you need a team, and depth. You can't win with just 1 guy.
