The old nhl rewarded hard work and good character as well. The NHL rewards skill over grit.
We don't have that much money to move around. According to NHLNUMBERS we are 15 million under the cap without Kreps, Campbell, Olesz, Matthias, Frolik, Belak and Bouw. Hardly a nice bank roll to play around with.

Someone had a quote on detroit that said that all their stars on are defense that they want to pay them a lot of money, some 7 a year some 5 a year. Defense is working in the new NHL and JM is getting on top of that. Now with DeBoer adding aggressiveness and physical presences we should be a force.
