I'm all for the idea of getting a good goalie, maybe one that is in a situation where the other team would love to save on cap as long as he is a quality goalie and we can dump a bad contract back
Bernier for Raymond and 4th
Howard for Raymond and 3rd
If we went into next season with either or and not give up anything and save cap space on Raymond and what we currently spend on our goalies this year our cap situation would be in very good shape. If we can land a top 5 pick this year our prospects would be looking very good and if we had cap flexibility things could look very good if we can get better seasons from young guys like Bennett & Monahan and improved depth from someone like Porier or whoever we draft. This also buys us time for Gillies to develop
