Not a fan of a lot of this, it's really addressing the wrong things.
Greiss backing up Campbell is dangerous. I have no faith in Greiss and with Campbell's injury issues, he'll likely get a decent chunk of games. Add on top the fact that you traded Daws gives us very little security for if/when Campbell misses some time.
Smith/Walsh pairing is just doomed to fail. If we're running with Ty again next season (which I expect), he needs somebody who can help cover for his lapses, not a very inexperienced defenceman that is likely to have even worse lapses in his rookie season.
With adding Cat and Blackwell, plus losing McLeod and Wood, this team has gotten a lot smaller and softer up front. Even if Slafkovsky is NHL ready next season, which is a big if.
