Three years from now is when their competitive window is wide open so they should be fairly cap strapped at that point, with Huberdeau and Kadri's contract on the books, and big extensions signed for young stars like Wolf and Parekh (and hopefully one or two more break out prospects).
I'm also of the opinion that the cap isn't going to rise as much as projected, so yeah, I think very much they'll be cap strapped and need to take advantage in the next couple years to avoid the cap constraints when they will need the money most.
