Depends on wether they think they can actually push for a cup this year. Because next year, whos the next player your going to chop, knowing that you have to find around another 5-6 for Karlsson, and another 5-6 for Tkachuk? And again, we are talking about significant salary, so one of your top 4 forwards, or top 3 D.
It's a slippery slope, and it's all predicated on your actual ability to extend EK. I just don't think that anything Brad has done this off-season to lockup a core for 4 years survives aquiring Karlsson, and they should be trying to maximize the window duration, not trying to fling the window wide open and get through before it falls on you.
