For the 5th one, if your team is playing consistently in the top 4 of the league, spend it on Legal for maybe another better player. You already have a good Practise Rink (it starts at the 5th level) so spend the 3 you have on the other 3 mentioned above. We'll use Toronto as an example for pushing for the Stanley Cup. With your upgrades, you should use every 4th one if you're building for the future, every 5th one if you're pushing for the Stanley Cup on either Locker Room, Marketing or Legal. You could also trade some of your high draft picks for better players in the push for the Stanley Cup. If you choose the latter, you should use most of your upgrades on Equipment Room, Team Travel, Team Gym and Practise Rink. You should also trade some of your better players (not best) for early draft picks. If you choose the former, you should use the majority of your upgrades on Scouting, Medical and Coaching.

You can either build for the future, or win here and now. When you first start Dynasty Mode, you have two choices.
