Johnny Toews looks like a possible fit too so not sure where Kenny Holland will go from here. All I know is this is our year, and so far it hasn’t overly looked like it, but I remain confident.

I agree that 7.5M in total for goalies isn't bad. But the issue is that management repeated the exact error they did with Koskinen. They would have better served taking a chance that Skinner could be an adequate #1 and pair him with a cheaper veteran back-up. Over-committing to Campbell was just a mistake that reduces flexibility going forward.
