With cap moving up we should be making some moves to free up cap space to have a better team the next few years. I been thinking that going all in should be the play this year but adding someone like Schenn or whoever still doesn’t get us to win. Maybe the play should be preparing to retool the team with significant adds via free agency.

I’d look at letting Marner sign elsewhere. And look at signing JT, Possibly looking at Ehlers, Nelson, Boeser, Chychrun.
If they’re not at least competitive in the 2nd round, and the core gets pushed out again, then you get rid of at least two of the three and start over and build a proper roster.

I think the window is the next couple of years. For example, Toews and Kane didn't win anything after about age 28. How old are our guys? Exactly. You're not winning anything with huge contracts to aging players.

I think it's probably maximum a three year window, because at that point almost the entire defense will need to be overhauled.
