I've mentioned it a few times, but Mrazek comes to mind.
He could be a prime target for an offer sheet. $5.4 million per year for 5 years. Compensation would be a 1st and 3rd round pick in 2017.
Wings match and they potentially face paying their goalie tandem $10.6 million a year for the next 3 years. Jimmy Howard won't be easy to trade IMO.
Obviously Holland would rather keep Mrazek, but if faced with the above scenario maybe he would be willing to deal for 2016 picks instead of either waiting for the 2017 picks or dealing with the cap hell that would come with paying their goalie tandem 1/7th of their entire cap.
Highly unlikely, but if you would have proposed the Hamilton trade 365 days ago you would have been labeled an idiotic homer making homer proposals for a clearly unavailable player.
