The fact you are paying your backup goalie $3.5M/year shows you don't know anything about hockey and you should stay off of here.

Brown has more value than Hyman but somehow Hyman's 10 goals are being rewarded for $2M.

Boyle will probably move on as they said he would most likely be a rental, Alzner will cost a lot more than 3 mil a year, more like 4-5, D core is still pretty bad, Zaitsev at a minus 22 is not worth 4 mil, ion they give him that it'll be another bad contract. Sell off a forward, get a d man like Hamilton or Vatanen. Only way the team improves is with defence. Bit overpay for Darling more like 2.25-2.75 a year./

You need to know more about hockey, Zaitsev at minus 22, he is a 2nd pair guy and would work well with Gardiner at at $4M it's a good rate.
