To me, it would make more sense to move Vanecek who makes 3.4m next season (he's not an expiring contract), and Schmid is a better goaltender than Vancek long term. Sign him to a bridge deal for 2 years to align with Markstrom's last 2 years expiring at the same time. That to me makes more sense and also giving LA a goalie option at least for another season at a cheap rate since they're already up on the cap.
Just trying to put myself in the shoes of the other GMs. For Calgary, I like the futures coming back and Palat, the the better player than Mangiapane, to make Mangiapane expendable too. I bet a Palat - Backlund - Coleman line would be a two-way shutdown line while the youngsters play with Huberdeau and Kadri.
