I don't know if that is true. They are two+ plus years from being a playoff-contending team in my mind.
On capfriendly armchair Gm I could not pick a direction. They have some older, mostly underperforming high contracts (ie Schneider $6.0 and Subban $9.0) that thankfully end soon and a bunch of middle range players and prospects outside of Hischier and Hughes (of whom I am not convinced is more than an average top pick).
As NJ GM I would go full rebuild. They thought they were contenders before they were and are now caught in a no man's land
