Kelly McCrimmon isn't one to shy away from spending money. He's acquired players such as Tomas Hertl, Jack Eichel, and Mitch Marner in an attempt to win another Stanley Cup. All that sounds great, right?
Well, yeah. C.R.E.A.M.
Cash rules everything around me.
When you're trying to assemble a superteam that angers the entire NHL, that's the goal. McCrimmon knows he needs the best players in his lineup, whether it's the first line or the third. This isn't a team filled with mid-line guys from the Pacific Northwest, you know.
Of course, there's a side effect to that.
