I don't think we could afford having Kallgren as a permanent back-up yet, he's not shown to be quite good enough. I think he's a fine 3rd goalie but I don't really see him sticking as a backup.

It's also optimistic to think Murray and Muzzin are going to be LTIR'd forever. I don't know anything more about the Muzzin situation but Murray looks like he's coming back. If Knies is NHL ready you'd got to assume he's playing top line, where his game could shine getting the puck to Marner or Matthews.

Kinda fantasy that Murray is on LTIR for almost two years. Maybe Muzzin too. Niemela is playing in Finland. No way is he NHL ready next season.

I'd be willing to bet dollars to doughnuts that we'll be offering Trevor Moore at least $4.5 million AAV.
