Seriously? Yes, Stone was overpaid, but Czarnik makes less than $2.0 m, which is well within the range of a "fourth liner." Moreover, just because Ryan centred the fourth line in the playoffs it does not mean that he is also a fourth liner. He was a 40-point player when he signed that deal, and he reproduced those numbers in the first year of his contract. Even though his scoring dipped slightly last season, he was still on-track to score +35 points, which is great middle-six production, WHICH IS ALSO RIGHT IN LINE WITH HOW HE IS PAID.

Seems like the very successful teams have no problems paying up. We laugh at them for their cap problems , they win games.

Very unsuccessful teams also overspend on players with abandon. "Paying up" is not what makes teams great. Good drafting, asset management, and a prodigious dose of good fortune is what does it.
