Some interesting rental options if it came to that....

Reto Berra so we can have even more Swiss players on the team

Out of those, I think Greiss and Neuvirth would be the best options unless we'd somehow get Bishop. Both can play around 30 games per season and have respectable numbers, while also doing well in the playoffs.

Greiss 41 GP, 92.5 SV% / 11 GP 92.3 SV%
Neuvirth 32 GP, 92.4 SV% / 3 GP 98,1 SV%

Since we have some room on the salary cap, I think we're going to trade for a backup goalie this year. That backup will probably be the starter by the end of the year.

And how will we re-sign Johansen if we pull that crap?

Um, I'm pretty sure they are talking about trading for a pending Ufa that wouldn't be a cap concern going forward

Yup. A few potential name pops out.
