Not at all. Both Edm and Tor made significant improvements in the standings this year, but while the argument is that Tor is ahead of schedule, I think just about everyone can agree that Edm is waaaaay behind schedule. Their core is older (McDavid notwithstanding) and their window to win more narrow than Leafs'. Edm going further now is just as good for them as a slower trajectory is for the Leafs. I think Kelly got this one right - Leafs will be wise to avoid the temptation to push too far too soon - an oft repeated mistake by previous Leaf mgmt.
