Your window really depends on if you can get quality players on their ELC's making the NHL. Our window was always closing because we never had prospects that could make the cut or were not being put on the team because management wouldn't allow it.
Now that Dube and Valimaki have made the squad with Magiapane and Andersson falling right behind them, we are going to have more cap space to sign a goalie and Tkachuk.
That's how teams like Chicago a few years back and Tampa Bay now have stayed so competitive. Solid drafting and prospects that can either fill in when needed and eventually on the main squad.
