I'd take Slavin over Byram

I made a late change from Newhook to Milano before posting, opened up cap that I could utilize for Slavin.

Don't believe I would change it though, Slavin is better but expires in 2 season and would likely get a large pay increase causing complications in year 3.
I would project Byram's extension much lower and that would assist with further year cap compliance.

But 100% is considerable and almost worth changing to.

I feel like there are a bunch in the lower end you can do better on:
Broberg
Dowd
Evans
Ylonen (why?)

Also I think you need to invest in a more established goalie to be a dynasty

Each one can somewhat be explained by their current and expected future cap hit, have to think about where they are in the lineup and what you're actually willing to pay for a player in that slot.
Broberg: cheap right now, young, in a role with sheltered minutes in this line up, still a great 6 dman, extension should only be 1.25M.
Dowd: great 4C at a good cap hit for 2 seasons.
Evans: Was going to switch with M. Mcleod, the additional year of contract and IPP helped me decide (could imagine there may be a replacement on a lower contract).
Ylonen: stratch that's on league minimum who wont get a massive raise (replaced Radysh, who would get a larger pay next season).

Goalies IMO are fine, both are young and looking like top 20 goaltenders (in the future), both are the starters for cup favourite teams right now on incredible deals.

Chandler Stephenson is a cheap deal you may have missed

I thought of him, at 2.75 for 1 year I didn't like the longevity of his value over others like Matias, Siegenthaler, or McCann.
One of which would need to be dropped or downgraded to include him and his extension.

Specifically re the tenders, if you're building a best team you don't go fine there. Spend on one and get shesterkin or something.

Totally understandable, that could be a difference of preference tbh. Goalies like Shesterkin, Saros and Sorokin crossed my mind for this.
I'm a fairly adamant believer that the last place you should spend money (especially over 7M) is on goaltending and because of that I took the best value contracts I could find for the forseeable future rather than going with the 3 above who will likely obtain 8-9+ on their next contracts.

I don't think one should pay for unreliable tending. There are only a few tenders who have been reliably average to great for the last number of years

Sorokin
Shesterkin
Vasi
Saaro
Helle (though I think he actually had one off season)

But its not worth saving 3 million gamble. #1 goaltender impacts a team probably as much as the top pairing or top line. Not a place to cheap out if you actually can have a good prediction of paying for vlaue (in this exercise where you can choose anyone). In reality when you are hit with a situation trying to gamble if a Binnington is worth it I'm with you

Again I think just a difference of opinion, I would rather take McDavid, Robertson, Hughes, Tage and Makar than to spend that much upgrading a goalie and have to lose or downgrade on one of those 5.
To me the players mean more, if you can construct a well rounded team that has good defense built into your systems than your fine to get by with top 20 goaltending (as compared to top 5).
