Michkov still has a 3/4-year contract in Russia.

I have seen Barbashev added on a lot of Penguins ACGMs. I know he is attractive due to his age and scoring, but isn't he a huge liability when it comes to defense? I feel like the Penguins need to stay far away from weak two-way players.

Not only is Jarry not playing backup but he's not going to take a pay cut - he's the best UFA goalie available. Dumo looked better at the end of the year but you have to let him go.

Titles it “Best Penguin Scenario”, but still has Carter, Granlund, and Petry on the roster. Plus you resigned Dumo and Jarry. This is the opposite of best penguin scenario.

We're looking for a starting goalie for next season, not another backup to partner Phoenix Copley.
