Basically there's two scenarios here. In the first scenario, we lose as usual in the 2nd round and we are able to field a pretty strong team next year despite losing at least one key player. In the second scenario, we win the Stanley Cup and we can only sign a few players because winning the Cup puts us deep into cap hell.
I really hate this line of thought. Whether we win or not, you're still left with the same guys without a contract probably looking for similar deals to if they hadn't won. What does winning the cup do to take us any deeper into "cap hell" then losing in the 2nd? Nothing really.
