If Bob had shorter term, I could see SJ doing this 1-for-1. But with four years being equal, FLA comes out ahead by the cap savings, and I’d ask them to add if I’m SJ.
Goalies are largely voodoo as it is, and Bob just had his first serviceable year in FLA, which isn’t terribly reassuring to his value over the course of the remaining four years, particularly if he is downgrading to SJ. Each year that goes by makes me less certain Bob will be able to keep up, and I don’t think Bob is the difference between SJ being a rebuilding team versus them being a playoff team.
