I would be more apt to take a bad contract back than I would retaining $ on Markstrom’s contract. A player like Ondrej Palat, who is over paid by about 1.5 mil per, would be a perfectly good contract to take back considering. He makes 6 million and has 1 additional year on his deal. Multi cup winner with Tampa.
Just like getting Kuzmenko, it would give a decent top 9 option over the medium term as this team readjusts.
