Part of the problem and this isn't me trying to justify the signing is I don't see anyone of the NHL free agents both UFA and RFA that I am confident in or they could get.
I don't want Lehtonen, Halak, Ward, Lack, Johnson, Pavelec, all UFA's. Lehner is an RFA, I am not a fan of his and I thin he gets a least 2.5 mill, he was making 4 mill last year. Mrazek is an RFa and was crappy. Bernier was making 2.75 mill. He was decent so I think he gets at least what he made last year or more. Helleuyck obviously is Winnipegs guy. Grubeauer was making 1.5 ill, have an excellent year and I see a team like Buffalo maybe trying to get him. Regardless he's making more than 2.5 mill. Hutton for the Blues was outstanding and will get WAY more than 2.5 mill. Hammond no thanks. Hutchinson hasn't been in the league in a few years. Khudobin was ok for Boston but do they let him go?
I just listed the first 15 goalies listed needing a contract and the only 2 I would like is Grubauer and Hutton and they might be in line for some starters jobs but at the very least probably get more than 2.5 mill.

FWIW, I'd be much happier with Bernier at 2.75 than Koskinen at 2.5. You know what you're getting with Bernier. And if Talbot goes down, Bernier proved he can get a half decent team to the playoffs.
Or you can look for a guy who is being squeezed by his current team. Pickard looks fully capable of being a solid backup. Both him and Subban were on waivers last season and the Oilers passed on both. Still can probably get Pickard in a trade. Or maybe you sign Cale Morris and another goalie for the AHL, roll with Montoya and see if those two develop or any other goalies hit the waiver wire like Pickard and Subban did this year.
It was very early to make a decision about an unknown commodity and to pay that much for him. If you are spending 2.5, at least see if Bernier, Graubauer, Halak, or Hutton would accept it first. You know what you're getting and it's less likely to go off the rails.
