Luckily there are trades, free agency, and the new vets (Myers, Erhoff, Ennis, Hodgson, foligno)
I mean seriously, there are a ton of solid vets traded each year
Hold on let me get this straight. The islanders traded away moulson, their 2015 or 2014 1st, their 2015 2nd for Sebastian Collberg and if Montreal makes the playoffs they get a 2nd and 5th....

thats our week in trades? (no halak since he was flipped and what we got for him is what we got for miller technically)
For all we know TM really likes neuvirth (a firmer 2nd rounder who is only 25) and thinks there's a chance he could be the goalie of the future. It's not like he paid a steep price.
Enroth should be the only one worried. TM went and got a high potential goalie after saying he doesn't care for small goalies....neuvirth may be our guy going forward for a bit
The fact two nhl gms swapped goalies and it was the sabres adding a 3rd rounder and taking a salary dump. That's my basis.
Not saying it's true, but it's obvious which one gms placed more value on
Let me tell you about how annoying Parker is. In nhl 14 Parker is a non prospect but is rated higher than sabres prospects. So he gets playing time over prospects in Rochester which stunts their development. So each year I have to manually scratch him. So annoying EA
