So that takes care of 4-5 of those guys for about 5-6 million bucks. Do we actually think they will spend 17 million dollars on the other 2-3 players they need to sign? Getting out from under the Markstrom contract is irrelevant unless the owners are running out of money.
The only thing that matters with Markstrom is getting the return Conroy wants.

Yes we need to spend money, we have no defenceman for next year.
We have to be looking at 1-2 year large AAV deals, and deal those guys away.
