You could easily move Rasmus out and sign two of Tanev, Myers, Dillon, Cole, Forbort, Barrie to one or two year contracts in the 5 million a year range and have a serviceable dman. Not many teams are going to give that 32-35 year old dman group 4 or 5 year contracts.
If it actually meant you got a stud young cost controlled piece for Anderson you do it every day. If the team moved out Anderson and Markstrom and even retained 3 million on Markstrom to make the return better they would have about 28 million bucks to spend on 6 players. You could blow your brains out on one or two year deals for two veteran dmen and still have money left over.

Could add Dumba to that list too. I’m sure there are others as well.
