What’s being talked about right now, goalies don’t usually get that.
This deal has to happen for us now.

Honest question, Will it? How do you know it will be significantly worse?
Unless we know what is on the table right now, if in fact there is a formal offer on the table at all, how would anyone know what some team might offer in the offseason?
Each and every team has their own circumstances and constraints to deal with along with ‘windows to win’. The league is far too fluid to make these sorts of proclamations.
What if Toronto gets bounced early? This offseason they trade Marner for a heavy futures package then use those assets to pursue a legitimate 1G? I’m sure there are other teams, like LA, who might think the same way.
Whether it’s hockey or almost any other transaction pulling the trigger or not needs to be considered against multiple factors. If I walked into a dealership today and the salesman man said, you should trade your car in today because it will never be worth more, I’m heading for the door.
