So Ward has been a really bad goalie for a few years, and has stayed in the NHL for his early career excellent performance. He really doesn't seem like much of an NHL goaltender for the last few years.
While there is an argument to be made to try to save the 1-2 million you could by moving out Halak, he was IMHO a huge reason you made it as far as you did, as both he and Rask were awesome for the majority of the year, and it allowed Rask to stay fresh. I'm not sure that is the area I'd try to save that million bucks. I think it provides good bang for the small cost.
(sometimes I feel weird when I literally say 1 million dollars is a small cost, but sports are what they are)
