So let's just frame up the consensus here. We love Mossy (you light up my world like nobody else) but it's fundamentally a sound piece of businses from the Phoenix to let him go.

Is that pretty much where we're at? 

That's where I'm at anyway. And I'll add to that that a refresh of the leadership group probably wouldn't hurt given this year's in-house ructions. So that's a fringe benefit of Mossy going as well.

Depends on the replacement we have lined up (hopefully) or that we end up with.  If we save 300k (no idea what the relative salary is) but end up with Italiano between the sticks I don't know that it is such a great bit of business. Or God forbid we save 50k and end up with someone like Velaphi or Kennedy.

It really depends how we spend the money we save. Say with the money we save we get a better DM. If Italiano in goal means that 10% more shots result in goals than Moss, but the better DM reduces the number of shots the opposition can make by 15% then that is a good bit of business because there's a net benefit. And that's only looking at one measure obviously, but that's the general principle.
