We'll be ok, worst case is trade one of the top 9 2-3M players for a dman.

Here is what I would say about the D.
No idea if Barrie will resign for 7.5. If not you find someone else for that or cheaper.
Dermott is not making 3M on his next contract. He hasn't played top-4 and will have to prove that in 2020 on a show me contract that will probably be half that amount. Sandin is way ahead of where people believe and will probably be 2nd pairing as well. Liljegren can play 3rd pairing with some league min guy. Carry one spare D and you are coming in cheaper by about 2.6M
