Actually next year they will be in very good shape cap wise. Certyainly not hell.
But think about this for a minute, I find what you're saying reasonable and hard to believe at the same time.
Draft picks? When WE have a legitimate shot at the cup this year? Rental or not, now is the time to go for it. This time may never come around again. And boy do I know that feeling
I am amazed actually with the D this year. I thought for sure losing Alex would hurt this team badly. Losing McKee next year most certainly will hurt. Better to go for it right now imo because as I have previously stated, I don't see Jay coming back after the way Darcy has handled him. I wouldn't forget that, and I don't think he will either especially when the Leafs come calling sometime in June or July.
