why not buyout Wis, which would save $2M and not sign Bartkowski and Nikitin, and bring back Yandle?

Yandle would be a bit too pricey for my liking, if he were looking for about 5 million instead of 6+ it would be a no-brainer also hes proabaly gonna get at least 6.5 somewhere else like Arizona who has 36 mil in space (funny how that looks), Wis can produce on the powerplay, not to the full extent of Yandle but still has solid production, Bartkowski and Nikitin are okay especially in a 3rd pairing and 7th D-man roles respectively
