Edmonton has two star players *cough* the german *hiccup* but I'm not suggesting a team needs just one star player to win and I've never said that. The cap is going up up up, Kaprisov's hit is 16.3% next year but already drops to 15 the year after, and less as the cap goes up. The Wild still have 20 million in cap space next summer, and that's with this new 17 million bucks on the table.

With a ton of players to sign...who will all be bumped up based on the new salary structure
