It's exciting for sure, but the chances of them going all the way financially to bring an exciting core of (insert year here) to Stanley Cup contenders is always very small.
They'll be good while the young guys are ELC, and may sign one or two stars past that, but they'll always end up around the league floor or slightly above it, and will trade stars away for picks and then get us excited in 5 years about the new amazing foundation.

Never know. If the NHL can continue to grab a few % of HRR each time the CBA expires, then eventually all teams will be healthy enough to spend to upper cap limit.
