Barrie isn't fetching a 2nd.
You massively underpaid for Lybushkin based on what i'm seeing everyone else give him on the market. I personally have no problem with that price tag but yeah.
I think dishing all of those guys makes sense, however I don't think it's possible to move all of those pieces just to move Keith. If anything you'd have to dish Foegle and Kassian and stuff to other teams, and then just go Keith + Picks to a team to dump him.
Lastly, SMITH IS NOT A STARTING CALIBER GOALIE. He is a perfect vet to have as a backup, but if you enter next season with him as your 1A, you will regret it. Skinner isn't the answer either I'm afraid. I think Georgiev from NYR might be a better option, I heard they aren't going to qualify him. I mean he's no elite stud or anything but he'd be a quality goalie to pair with Smith, he can take more starts away from Smith than Skinner could next year. That way, you could run Georgiev 1A and Smith 1B for next season, then after a year of that go Georgiev 1A and Skinner 1B. Then by the time that season is over you would have a much clearer picture of how Georgiev and Skinner will pan out for you.
Leaving 3mil in cap space and not targeting a better goalie would be the death of this team.
Overall it may seem like im ****ting on this team but honestly im not, its a good team. I like it. Just would add in net.
