To Minnesota: Steve Mason
To Columbus: Niklas Backstrom
This reduces Minnesota's payroll to $65,748,867. That may not still be enough.
However, Columbus gets a proven back up for Bobrovsky, and Minnesota allows Harding to become the starter. Mason gets a change of scenery, and he's a threat to push Harding for the starting job.

I'd do that in a heartbeat but I'd also venture to say that Backstrom would be our starter for his salary and skill set.
