Is a GM who cares more about the next 5 years than about years 6-8 necessarily bad at their job?

The NHL is cyclical. Teams rarely win the big prize without pushing all their chips in at some point. Signing a player to a contract that you know will be ugly in 6 years might be the smart thing to do if it means icing the best roster possible at the top of the cycle.
