I think we still have about a 5yr window which is when all our main guys will be in their early 30s (with Rielly being 34-35).
But this all depends on continuing to compete at the same or higher level. If they find themselves as a wilcard or outside the playoffs over 1-2yrs maybe they change the philosophy.
For the sake of the argument...maybe a new window begins after next season when, between the rising cap and Tavrares' $11m coming off, they can reshape around the core...but it all seems to be around the same timeframe so long as Matthews-Marner-Nylander-Rielly are leading the way and production doesn't take some unexpected fall off a cliff
