Then why isn't Baboonskin playing goal since he's our best penalty killer?

Goalies are the most important penalty killers, though

I have a pretty good way of freeing up 6MSilver lining no matter what happens here on out is that we've got $3.5M in goal freeing up this summer, to go along with $5M in Brodie.
Bad news is that it all gets eaten up by raises to Matty and Willy, a bigger contract for Lilly, and to a goalie replacement.
Not much money freeing up to do much with unless Bert and Domi's $8.5M is also gonna go out, but then you need to replace them. I was firmly in the camp of letting both walk at the end of the year, but Domi has proven himself to be a valuable, versatile gamer, and Bertuzzi serves his purpose, I suppose. I think Domi probably reups with some 2-3 year deal for a bit more than he's making, but wouldn't be surprised if Bertuzzi isn't around next year.
Lilly plays for the Kraken thoughWe have about $19.5 in capspace, with maybe three RFA we want to re-sign in Robertson ($1-2m?), Liljegren ($2-3m?), and Dewar ($1m).
So about $15m without re-signing any of our UFA, and having a roster of 12 forwards, 5 dmen, and 1 goalie.
Keefe will be employed by the Kraken, so that's not a likely destination for him.Lilly plays for the Kraken though
Keefe's meal reimbursements obviously will not be part of the budget when he gets axed.I have a pretty good way of freeing up 6M
Minten, Cowan, to go along with Knies and Robertson, while still having Matty, Willy, Marner, and Tavares, and McMann and Holmberg, is 10 out of 12 of a forward group that only fatboy could fail with by giving all their icetime to Kampf and Reaves.I expect Minten and Cowan on this team next year. Add them with some smart UFA adds, we then could be cooking
