What is wrong with having Alex on a 2-year bridge deal? Who knows what happens the next two years? He and Igor can battle it out. If he loses out and is back up for 2 years, so be it....you can trade him then after 2 years. And why not buy out Hank? It's not insulting to him sitting on the bench every game? It's a business decision. If he is bought out, he is free to sign anywhere he choses, and what is wrong with that? You don't think Hank would understand that? I'm sure he would, he is a business man. He knows his jersey will hang in MSG when he retires no matter what. Bottom line is you don't trade away your best young goalies just to keep an aging veteran happy during a rebuild. And if Hank was GM, he would tell you the same thing, because he is a very smart man.
