How will our window be closing in 5 years?
We're arguably still in the middle/near the end of our rebuild right now.
In 5 years the following players will be:
Monahan-26
Johnny-27
Dougie-27
Brodie-31
Bennett-25
Tkachuk-23
They will all be in the prime of their careers. That's not even considering some of our prospects who should be making an impact in the NHL in 5 years.
There is no way in hell I sign Johnny to a 4 year deal, I max him out, even if it means throwing $7.5MM at him. He's going to be a 90-100pt player pretty soon
