Not sure about his NTC, but personally I would probably accept (although I would try to ask and swap the pick moving out to a 3rd this year and next year or 2nd next season in the negotiations).
+ Picks 9, 18, 28 - for argument sake (and wishful thinking) lets call them 3 of the following: Moore/Barlow, Wood/Reinbacher, Stenberg/Leonard/Perreault.
+ competent goalie (Ned and Hellberg are worse) who can relieve Husso.
+ Don't spend another 3rd on a stop-gap.
+ Cap hit doesn't seem like a problem for one season.
- Cap hit is still high if other moves are being planned.
- Injury history / inconsistency / need for third goalie just in case (which every goalie looks different with different teams).
- If out of the playoffs (most likely on the fringe but falling short) he may not bring back a return and walks.
