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.

My guess yes it would be worse, within the league goalie's don't tend to be traded and land great returns.
Obviously, I have no idea the speculated offer etc.
If Toronto were to move Marner, Calgary would never be on the list of destinations. I would bet he would not waive his NMC for anything except a contender.
