Drafting and developing a player(s) to keep your team competitive down the road is way more important than the mystery box one guy brings to your team for a finite amount of games that didn't need a distraction to its chemistry in the first place.
But doesn't almost every contender pick up rentals, though? And if so, just the fact that only one team wins the cup would make them look statistically "bad" but that shouldn't stop teams from attempting to leverage the condensed cap space into a cup.
