I agree. To get a bunch of salary off the books would be a win. Gio is probably a fourth dman at this stage of his career, and Backlund’s contract on this team at this moment doesn’t fit into the structure. Ideally you’d like an asset back for him but in the salary cap world who know if there are takers to take on the long contract. To me, a good off-season would be getting supporting cast money off the books. Trading Monahan and Gaudreau for picks and prospects for a full year tank could do wonders for a quick rebuild.
