Dallas' weakness was playoff goaltending... something that most would argue is MAF's biggest deficiency.
Lehtonen/Nemii vs Lehtonen or Nemii/MAF still leaves Dallas with big problem: they can only protect one goalie in the expansion draft.

I thought Dallas were able to outscore their goaltending during the season but were unable to do the same in the playoffs. I don't think they would have any problem exposing their existing goalies at all.
Losing your backup goalie who is making 4-5M doesn't seem like a bad problem. It means that they won't lose depth from another position. I don't quite buy into the thought that teams will be panicking to not lose a goalie. It only applies in Pittsburgh's situation where you have a guy with a NMC and another goalie that you would rather protect. I agree with the other poster who said that Vegas would be foolish to take some pittance for them not to take Murray. They should be after the upper tier guys wherever they can get them. Depth guys should not be their problem.
