Man, that's like one of the top duos in the league. That is not this teams issue.

Who are these magical goaltenders that will be better in free agency?

Braden Holtby?

They might be able to get Fleury for a 1-day contract.

They've been good this season. You're not getting better goaltending in free agency than what we had this season.

I still would've moved Ned - because I think you could've got a decent pick/prospect back for him and the season is obviously over. But the implication that we should move them because they've been bad and replace them with someone better just isn't reality
