Forbort want a 1 year, $1M contract to earn a bigger payday? Sure, I’m into it.
I’m just questioning the train of thought that has seen us continually spending into positions that don’t drive the team forward. Start deploying cheaper, younger players that have similar impacts - you just have to trust them, coach them, and realize that playing mistake free hockey isn’t the goal - winning the game is, and mistakes happen.

Nailed it. And to top it off, the team spends draft capital to acquire even more defensive depth at the deadline.
Having marginally better 5,6 and 7 defenseman than your opponent rarely makes a difference between winning and losing unless you’re so even everywhere else.
