They could probably get more for Swayman, but I think if they trade a goalie it will be Ullmark. Swayman is only 24 and has shown that he can be a starter in the NHL. If Swayman ends up getting $3.5+AAV, I could see Ullmark being gone and it'll be Swayman/Bussi.
You also haven't signed Frederic, who is looking like a 20 goal scorer right now and will be getting a bridge $2-$2.5AAV contract.
Nosek does not come back for that little, I could see the 4C spot going to Beecher or McLaughlin.
I would also rather get rid of Grz than Forbort, we have 2 legit 1D who can move the puck very well and while Grz is good at what he does, I would like to get back some picks and maybe a B- prospect for him.
I think you're also looking at trading one of Coyle or Hall to fit in Frederic and give realistic money to FA's, and that also allows you to maybe have both Swayman and Ullmark for another year. Most likely Hall because the C depth on this team is not great.
