There are no prohibitive favorites in the NHL. Wilson has built a team that has contended for several years and will contend for at least a few more. Their window has not closed IMO.

Nobody is saying their window has closed but you just said "at least a few more" they gave the guy an 8 year deal not a 5 year deal. What happens after a few more years? I don't think anyone is debating they will be a good, competitive team for the next few seasons. It's after that as their forward group is starting to get thin on star power and their most important player in Burns is getting up there in age.
