short explanation for the moves

The 3-way trade for Kostin is kind of a hopeful fit type of move, we need to move out either Ceci or Kulak and I think it will be Ceci and I also don't think he is a cap dump so I packaged him for a player that the Organization and players are familiar with in Kostin for some extra grit in the bottom 6 and depth scoring, a third team is with at least TWO retention spots open (I chose the Penguins) as I don't think a team will want to use their final spot in the offseason. Lavoie is sacrificed for the retention as I believe there is no clear way for him to make the roster without moving someone out so send him to Pittsburgh where he could get a better chance at making the NHL.

the goalie signings are one that I think will be very interesting and important in the offseason, we could go out and get a boneafide backup like Brossoit, Stolarz, or Nedeljkovic which would cost close to maybe the highest 2M or the could go back to Pickard who has been good so far this year behind Skinner and would cost around 900k, but I have another sneaky possibility We have Rodrique down in Bako who has been lights out for the last two years and is looking NHL ready, what if we bring back Pickard but tell them both that may the best man win the job and the loser gets the starting job in Bako in front of Ungar
