Pay talent, you need top players to win. Find the bargains down your line up. Not at the top end. Paying two million more to Kapriov than you wanted is alot better than UFA hunting for some grizzled vet you're going to buy out in a year.

The question becomes you don't want to pay Kaprizov $17M. How do you replace him?
The answer is pretty simple. You don't. The smart play is to pay the player.
