I don't think Dundon being cheap is speculation at this point but whatever.
Dundon has said on multiple occasions that he's committed to winning and will spend on players in order to maximize the chances of that happening. And that's exactly what he's done.
Dundon does not conform to NHL old school concepts in a lot of other areas. On that front some will label him as cheap while others might see him implementing a new and different business model. That's just a difference of opinion, and on that front, sure, whatever. But this thread is about players, and to conflate Dundon's approach to off ice issues with his willingness to invest in players is misguided. Canes are spending to the cap, and will almost certainly continue to do so. Hopefully they'll do so in a way that doesn't compromise success down the road (we could name a couple examples but no need to open that Pandora's box, lol).
