The bigger picture is it allows us to resign another lefty, in Gardiner while locking up a righty, in Faulk long-term. Did you miss Gardiner altogether?
Instead of losing Gardiner for nothing and eventually making a choice between Muzzin and Dermott too, Muzzin gets flipped for a similar player on the right side and signed long term. Gardiner can eventually be traded for futures when Dermott is ready to replace those minutes.
Subsequently Dermott, Faulk, and Rielly get protected at the expansion draft without any other casualties.
This team is way deeper than last year's and it's not even close.
