Normally I'd agree, but if it's for the right type of player I'd pull the trigger.
If they brought in ROR, once they extend Chucky we'd have 6 key forwards locked up long term to continually build around year after year, and 4 of them would be able to play top 6 center (Monahan, ROR, Lindholm, Backlund).
Also, I disagree that this team can't be a contender, especially after an off season where they hypothetically bring in Lindholm and ROR up front.
