I can’t really argue with you on whether or not that’s the time frame GMs think about. You may very well be right. That’s why privately held companies are often much better run than publicly traded companies. They do what’s best for the business, as opposed to what’s best for whatever they’re going to announce next quarter and they’ll be retiring or moving on in 3 years anyway.

Yeah, but to replace a player like Nylander they will be spending assets and cap space anyways. That’s if there is even a comparable player to trade for. A GM can keep their picks and prospects to trade for another player and sign Nylander.
