They do recognize goaltending is their weakspot.

Yeah. I just don’t see what holding off to the offseason accomplishes. From Markstroms perspective it makes sense as he can move his household but from the team the risks are high another team moves in, and they miss out on potential playoff revenue. If the cost is the same in the offseason why not get it done now to reap the benefits?
