Stolarz's price is likely way above 2 mil. He was a top 3 backup this season.
"Brandon Montour: Projected for a 3-6 year deal with a cap hit between $6.483 - $7.7 million" according to Evolved hockey projections. If he's taking a steep discount for Florida it's minimum 6 mil.
I do like the idea of getting draft capital for Knight. The Blackhawks may have a future elite goalie but Florida is winning now, and 2 2nd rounders can get tham a good rental player at the deadline.
You can probably make it work by swapping Stolarz for a different free agent backup actually worth 2 mil or less, like James Reimer or Casey DeSmith, and signing a league min 3RHD instead of Brodie.
