Probably not ideal going into the last year of Pissy's contract.

Every year Holland makes moves that are only good for 1 year.
McLeod probably would have signed for 2 years at $900k last year. Maybe 3 for $1 mil or slightly higher.
Gives him 1 years $800k and now he costs $2.1 mil per.
Brown deal kills any chances of winning next year. They have no prospects, and the cap will be flat for them due to cap penalties.
I don't see how they are better than last year either. Brown is un upgrade, but Klostin and Bjugstad were good for them in the playoffs too.
