Sure, but neither team had any assurances that the players they lost would still be with them had they not one. The decision to keep Coleman/B.Gaudreau/Kadri etc. was made well before they won the cup. As a GM, who intends to compete for a cup, you have to be willing to take on risk. It’s simply the cost of business.
