Let's say Gio is effective for 4 more years. Do you make your team that much more competitive for 4 years and then see where you are? A lot can change in 4-5 years.
Players of his calibre just do not hit FA and there is a reason why.

The point of hockey is to win the cup and worry about your cap and team in the future. If you plan for the next 4 years with disregard to the 4 after you could swing and miss and your rebuild could be for nothing. I think this team is going to slowly progress over the next 2-4 years into a contender. I think our best years are beyond that. I see no reason to think our window is somehow closing in year 3 of a rebuild.
