Last thing the team needs is to sour the relationship with Mangiapane in arbitration to save a million bucks. He already put mangi in his place last summer, I don't think arbitration will help anything going forward.

The problem is depth. If you trade Rittich and go with Domingue as the backup, the needle doesn't really move with respect to expected games won.
But what if Markstrom gets injured at some point? Then you're running with Domingue / Zagidulin for a while. Pretty big gamble.
