Way too much tied up in goaltending. Sign one but not both

Besides resigning Barrie I like this. Grubauer contract seems a bit risky, maybe wait till next offseason for a shot at a slightly cheaper starter and I figure Nuge gets under $6.5mill if he stays although I do understand that a number of teams would pay him $7.5mill. If McLeod and Holloway can produce at even an average 3rd line rate this team could be extremely dangerous and those 2 are very solid defensively. Also think that we don't need Smith if we spend that much on a starter. Stalock is a serviceable, cheap backup, Grubauer probably plays 60 games

Wings pass, as there are two years left on Neal deal

I agree but it doesn't matter because Holland said he isn't trading that 1st.

Both years won't interfere with them contending

Just dead money

And a very nice asset that could be in the lottery
