We certainly do not need to have 13.4M tied up in goaltending next year when the team could be looking at making other adds.
The original suggestion was taking Grubauer and getting a pick back and if we could get a 2nd then it might be worth looking at but to swap out contracts that makes no sense to me. I also have a higher opinion of Farabee than you which is why I think there is a disagreement

Fair enough.
No one will argue Gru is overpaid and not great value. I am not a fan.
I see us having too many wingers, with more coming soon.
Coleman has value and we should unload at the deadline, but with Gridin, Suniev, Honzek, Kerins (Battaglia, Basha just behind) all pushing for places in the top 9 within the next year, we likely need to unload 2 wingers from the current lineup.
Personally, I see Farabee & Sharky bringing little to the club and would target these two to offload. I also doubt either has much/any value in the market. I suspect we will either need to sacrifice prospect development, or add a sweetener to off-load one of these two players.
