Didn't Tampa won b2b cups?

Boston has been contender since 2011 cup win.

Do I need to even start with Hawks?


You fine how Army has done with team after Cup run?
Boston hasn't won anything after 2011, 2011 also had most of their core players under 26. After their win they were early out or missed the playoffs in all but 3 years since

Tampa won back to back then started to fall steadily over the next few years. Lost in the finals, back to back first round exits, and currently only have 3 more points than us.

Hawks won 3 cups with Toews and Kane under 26 and on Sweetheart deals. And then after they extended within 3 years they plummeted into the basement.

We were a playoff team for for almost 11 straight years except for 2017-18 where we missed by one point and we were the best team in the league before the covid shut down. We're now on the 3rd core since 2011-12.

You simply have to catch up with the times. The cap ceiling is no longer 70m.
Kyrou is the 64th highest paid player in the NHL along with Thomas. There are 5 goalies with higher salaries. So he is 59th in skater salary.

This year he is tied for 52nd in points.
Kyrou was the 63rd highest point producer in a down year for him last season. Two years ago he was 49th.

I would say he is hovering pretty close to where he needs to be.

I don't think that's true at all. I'll wait for someone to show the stats of this.
There are only 17 NHLers with 40 or more goals last year. Only four of those players get paid 8mil or less this year. Stamkos who is getting paid 8Mil this year was getting 8.5 last season.

Hyman, Marchessaultt, and Boeser are the other three and outside of last year none of them have ever hit 40 before.

Forsberg, Crosby, Reinhart, and Drai are the only four others who get paid less than 9Mil. Drai starts making 14Mil starting next season. And Crosby is very superstitious about the number 87.

That leaves nine other players who get paid between 9-13.25mil in the league who scored 40+ goals last year.

The average cap hit for a 40+ goal scorer last year was 9.26. If you only average out the players who score 40-44 it's 8.5.
