The Risto re-signing was atrocious and we now have too much cap space tied up in a below average defensive group. I would move Provy in heartbeat for a high-end defensive prospect that’s ready for a shot at a 3rd pairing role and look to sign a cheaper, but serviceable LD to play behind Sanheim and York. May not be better, but it wouldn’t be any worse…and with another cap-cutting move or 2 we may be able to take a swing at an offensive replacement for G….

In fact, they are slightly older for this league in average especially if you back york out. Do not mix being terrible with age.
