They have to take advantage of the market. If there's a deal here that helps them mix it up and get a jump on next year then they have to take it. This is a good team and a good offseason can help solve a lot of things.

What market is there for players who are more than a rental but without significant term?
I foresee an off season where, say, NJ, Toronto, Vegas, NYR, Carolina, or Minnie, come really close but fail to go more than a couple rounds and figure they are one piece away. Like a 2C, or a scoring two-way winger, or a defensive Dman, or a puck mover. A whole lot of teams would pay pretty well for a full year of those guys, and they’d also be looking at their (pretty late) draft picks and thinking those kids are outsides of their present window.
