But then you are stuck with dipietro as your backup

Well Toffelli had a choice where he signed. But signing Holtby for that much, seems to be a mistake. Much cheaper options were probably avialable.
Vancouver would likely be a much better team if they had imprisoned Benning during UFA signing period, and then released him Labour Day

Tanev instead of Schmidt as well my friend

They could've signed Dell

nope Schmidt was an improvement

Eh idk the defense played better last year than it is this year

Over the last month, it's been better than last year. Schmidt and Edler have been one of the best pairings in the NHL

But we have 1.6 M cap space plus 800K for Mikey to spend on a back up, 2 M is what should have been spent for 1 year.

Yea but u also save a solid bit of cap
