If we had Crosy and Malkin instead of Monahan and Gaudreau, who won us 3 cups in the last 10ish years, and they are getting to their mid 30's, I'm pretty sure most Flames fans would still be ok with the organization mortgaging futures for another few shots at the cup before their window closes.
That's the luxury a team like the Pens have. They can be garbage for 10 years after Crosby and Malkin retire, and they'd be ok with it because they've won championships.
