Teams that are in Montreal’s position usually decide to try to make a run when they have a window like that.

Their window is a lot longer than 4 years. It’s just opening now, and most teams have a 6-8 year window of contention. And I expect they’re keeping their powder dry for a run at Crosby - if not this season then next.
