The Avs have a pretty good window to load up and take run in the next two years before they get capped out by their younger players.

I don't think this is necessarily true.
See Mark Stone for an example. It was fairly obvious he would re-sign with the team that acquired him. I think both the Flames' and Golden Knights' offers took this into account during their bidding war.
