Free agency day ONE goalies edition
Leon blew his load too early and forgot about the goalies
Generally some of the most contested free agents in the brhl free agency auction process. And rightly so as teams have won and lost based on poor goaltending.....or at least they think that that was their problem.....oh so many people and things to blame but never themselves eh!
Marc-andre Fleury. $10,165,000
Sergie Bobrovsky. $8,170,000
Anton Forsberg. $8,025,000
Cam Talbot. $5,885,000
Jonathan Quick. $5,700,000
Semyon Varlamov. $5,643,000
Jordan Binnington. $5,450,000
Elvis Merzlikins. $5,450,000
James Reimer. $4,012,500
Lack of true high-end #1 goalies in free agency this year may mean that teams may be focusing their most ridiculous bids elsewhere. However, goalie needs are still important and the fight for the services of these mid-tier goalies is apparent. Other than the 2 restricted free agents on this list, all the decent goalies are past their prime and regressing very quickly. Their effectiveness and ratings will continue to be inconsistent year to year so it definitely is a big risk to be investing long term capspace and dollars on such an asset.
This is only day ONE. Will more drama unfold? Opinions will differ and 'civil' conversation will follow haha.

Leon
