To be honest I'd pay up if I were Vancouver. Their run this year is really lightning in a bottle. I wouldn't expect sustained domination year after year.
Like miller is near or at the age guys usually start slowing down.
They have a lot of guys to re-sign or replace this summer.
Goalies are voodoo, themko could get hurt or lay an egg next year.
Hughes will potentially walk to New Jersey when his contact is done. He's also scoring at a pace not likely to be duplicated next year.
Petey is playing amazing for a big contract.
They're not super injured for once.
Perry doing whatever and getting fired let them dump beauvillier and his big cap hit for free.
Their pipeline isn't set up for sustained success. Winning and attracting free agents would be the better play ala Pittsburgh back in the day.
This team is built to win this year and they should be doing as much as they can to make that a reality. Winning would also entice guys like Lindholm to stay for less and Petey to take a discount. It would also give pause to Quinn Hughes to want to go play with his brothers.
Guenztel was great for the pens in the back to backs. Personally I don't get it for the pens cause lekkerimaki doesn't move the needle for their current core or really fit as a cornerstone piece in a new core.
If anything I feel like the pens are very similar to Vancouver except their team is having everything go wrong instead of right this year. They could easily end up grabbing Philly's third place metro spot with their games in hand and the Islanders collapsing even harder under Roy. If they had cap space I would have pegged them as buyers.
