Avs accept. In a perfect world I wouldn't be moving Campbell or Dellandrea, but I clear $1.7 mil to give me some breathing room. Demko gives me a younger backup who will be cheaper to re-sign. Pytlik and Thrun are really nice prospects to add to the system, both would make my top 5. And I can get Roslovic or Chlapik into my lineup with Dellandrea gone.

Confirmed.

I like the idea of a Campbell-Montembault pairing in goal, high consistency even if they don't have the highest overalls, and neither of them is that old. Dellandrea is all-around better than Pytlik, though I admit some concerns about my future defensive forwards (or lack thereof?), but it was worth it. The rest is fairly minor to me, because of prospect depth, and worth it for the better high end.
