32% of the cap tied up in Voracek, Backlund, Lucic, Gio all players that are 31+ next year. I just don’t see teams winning much when 1/3 of their cap is tied up in aging players.

I am not convinced this current core has what it takes to win so why close the window instead of trying to extend it by adding young pieces in a Gaudreau trade?

4-5 years Tkachuk is 26-27 so still plenty of time to win
