For sure. So let's say they replace Neal with a player making $800k. That leaves $6mil. assume they get a backup at $1mil per, we are down to $5mil. What Goalie are they going to get to replace Smith? He and Fleury had very similar years. Do they take Fleury from Vegas at $7mil? That puts them in a $2mil hole just to get even with last year.
This team is treading water at best unless they somehow have both Brogerg and Bouchard step in and be a top d pairing. Hard to imagine.
