It’s a non-issue IMO; WORST case scenario you send Vladar down to the AHL and he gets claimed on waivers, meaning you get no return except for the cap space and a roster spot. If he clears I think you happily keep him in the AHL as an insurance policy in case there is an injury or if Wolf struggles or Markstrom completely craps the bed.
My preference would still be to trade Vladar this summer (assuming Markstrom doesn’t waive his NMC which I don’t think he would), but that is a decent plan B if that doesn’t work out.
