There is no good scenario if Kipper is back.

I don't understand. If Feaster thinks that one of Ramo, Berra, or MacDonald will step up and become the team's #1 goaltender next season and Feaster isn't going to go out and acquire another potential #1 goalie if Kipper isn't coming back, how does Kipper coming back mean the team is another season away from seriously looking for our next starter? Kipper coming back doesn't mean he'll play 70 games. He might not even play 60. The team will find out whether Ramo or Berra would be ready to be the next starter next season with or without Kipper.
As for Kipper's cap hit. The chances are the team won't be up against the cap next season even with Kipper on the roster.
