The window is open now. We're in the running for a play off spot and have Gaudreau for 6 more years before he's free to leave. 5 after this year.
How much longer are you going to wait before you're ready to risk middling picks for playoff help? And if Bennett doesn't get better? Tkachuk falls off? Gaudreau doesn't recover?
I think middling picks in years where you have a legitimate shot at playoffs should always be on the table. Who knows when you'll be in the playoffs next. A 2nd round pick is not a big risk.

That worked so well in the past, Mr. Sutter.
