I suspect he has nothing up his sleeve.

He finally feels the brunt of 15 million in dead cap space. And for 2 full years. Sure Dumba and Kllingberg are off the books but now he has a defense corps that is beyond porous and thin. Same with his bottom six forwards. He hasn't got much wiggle room.

You know who would have been perfect? Jakob Chychrun at that price for 2 seasons. Ottawa paid. Minny wouldn't.

Fav GM quote of all time, last season from Billy G….. “I don’t have to do s*%t.”

He has a plan. You have to hand it to him. Perhaps the Fleury deal hasn’t worked out great, but Minny has stayed in it.

I’m happy to see Ottawa with Chychrun instead of the Wild. Chychrun has played 7 NHL seasons while playing more than 60 games twice. He’s pretty porous defensively.

Honestly i think Billy has done alright. Yes, he will feel the pinch the next two years, but the team is still a good 6-8th as not too many key contracts expire. More importantly he changed the cultutre and opened up roster spots. That breath of fresh air and competitive team will look great in two years.
