Trading Lou for Markstrom seems silly to me in this situation. Wonder if I am alone in thinking this...
In a vacuum, you're totally right. But I won my league last year by a large enough margin, I could have just gone without a goalie all year and still dominated. So having a 6.7 million Luongo and a 5 million? Andersen would be a horrible use of cap space. Cutting salary was the main goal for the deal.... Chances are good I won't even use Matkstrom, but knowing there's some value there if I do need him is nice.
