Pearson ain’t going anywhere

So much wrong with this. Markstrom 1 year contract?

Markstrom will walk, Before he signs a 1 year deal.

why is everyone in a hurry to sign Barrie. why not resign Tanev for less aav and a shorter term . that will help the cap situation and keep Tanev and Hughes together. Barrie is only productive when he is getting first PP duty and he isn't going to get that over Hughes. Why trade Pearson when he is a great fit with Horvat. Better off keeping Pearson resigning Tanev(2-3 year deal tops) trading Stecher(maybe with Sven to montreal) and forgetting about Barrie. even if they lose Leivo and a couple others they have some young guys to bring up. as for Markstrom cant see them going that aav and term with the RFA's they have coming due soon. if they lose him there are lots of veteran goalies that are ufa's they could sign to share the crease with Demko . no need to over commit to Markstrom and make that cap situation like Toronto's
