This is a fair point. On its face the contract isn't a good deal, but with no cap issues and him having options in the KHL or elsewhere it isn't terrible.His 3 games here are irrelevant.
This is what the cost is to bring a top KHL goaltender over.
Given the state of the team, I’d much rather take a chance on a potential boom player. If he busts, then we will know and a poor goaltending tandem will help drive a better pick.
Far more important things to focus on then a 2 year signing and paying goalies $5 million total.
