No competitive team today is going to be competitive for the next 7-8 seasons. It is the nature of the cap.
If I were Rasmus, in addition to ensuring a good QOL of the ice, I would be looking for teams just entering their competitive window, and not those leaving it (LA, Vegas, Tampa, Edm, etc)
Teams like Montreal, NJ, Utah, Dallas, etc have a much brighter future.
