This is very true and IMHO is an advantage over a bad team is through its window and saddled with a group of aging stars on large contracts that have to play and eat a lot of minutes to justify their salary.
There's only one huge contract here and not much top end, so lines are rolled pretty evenly and a lot of guys can be moved around and displaced by youth pushing for jobs. So you have a pretty fluid roster where guys have to fight to keep jobs and young players are fighting to take them.
The result is a greater effort output most nights than say a former contender that's in its twilight and stomaching the back years of long contracts.
